“…When families add new members to their household, a steady and oftentimes substantial income is required, something not readily available to Chinese families before 1978 (Angang et al, 2003;Yeung & Sung, 1996). In 1978, the per capita income for Chinese families living in urban regions was approximately 1,200 yuan (or US$9,800 after inflation) and approximately 500 yuan (or US$800 after inflation) in the rural areas (Shane & Gale, 2004). The 2003 per capita income for Chinese families living in urban and rural areas was 8,000 (US$64,000) and 2,000 yuan (US$16,000), respectively (Shane & Gale, 2004).…”

“…According to Li and Piachaud (2004), the average income for rural residents in 2001 was 2,366 yuan (US$18,929) and 6,860 yuan (US$54,880) for urban residents. The average 2003 income for a rural family was 3,582.42 yuan (US$28,659.36) and 9,061.22 yuan (US$72,489.76) for an urban family (Angang et al, 2005), although some estimates of family income are lower (see Shane & Gale, 2004). Data suggest rural families make a substantial amount less than urban families, and the difference between the two groups is growing larger (Angang et al, 2005;Angresano, 2005;Fan, Fang, & Zhang, 2001).…”

China's open-door policy (ODP) was created in 1978 as a response to the severe economic depression affecting the country after the Cultural Revolution. The policy was designed to restore China's financial status and lift the nation out of destitution. By all accounts, the ODP has been successful in improving the country's monetary condition. However, the impacts to family structures and values caused by the sudden and massive industrialization of cities and towns are less well known. This article explores the unexpected changes to family life since the inception of the ODP and conducts a preliminary family impact analysis on how these alterations could be related to the ODP.

“…At the same time, the share of investment increased from 37% in the 1980s to about 42% in 2007. In addition, Hu and Khan (1997) and Shane and Gale (2004) pointed out that China's open door policy led to a big capital inflow to China, driving technology transfer and strong export growth. Although foreign direct investment (FDI) becomes an important driver of economic growth in China, the distribution of FDI is very unequal across the regions (Graham and Wada 2001).…”

Investigating economic growth, energy consumption and their impact on CO₂emissions targets in China

This article aims to analyse economic growth, energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions data in China comparing with the US and Japanese data. Then, we try to evaluate the Chinese government's targets in reducing energy use and carbon intensity. Economic growth is a key factor that determines the Chinese's ability to meet these targets. If we suppose that China's economic growth is maintained at 9.54% per year, and total primary energy supply (TPES) growth is stabilized at 3.82% on average, the country would be able to cut energy consumption per unit amount of gross domestic product (GDP) by 23.5% in 2010: if carbon-GDP intensity could decrease by 4.5% on average, China would be able to achieve a reduction in carbon-GDP emissions target by 49.87% or above the target in 2020. We suggest that China needs to stabilize CO 2 per total primary energy supply intensity. This target can also push government to implement clean coal technology and promote renewable energy target more seriously. Finally, we argue that binding target on CO 2 emissions has worked effectively in the case of Japan, but we have to be careful when analysing economic-energy-CO 2 emissions in Japan due to 'the lost decade' of Japan's economy. Finally, we expect that developed countries such as Japan and the United States can help China not only in transferring technology but also in strengthening the institutional capacity such as in harmonizing regulations, in energy planning and in developing human capability.
