“…Step 1: We start with the large, nationally representative household surveys conducted each year in rural and urban areas by China's Statistical Bureau (CSB). 11 Despite numerous attempts we have not been able to access the micro-files from these surveys, but CSB publishes tabulations using many income brackets and income categories (wages, pension and other replacement income, business, and capital income). We use all the annual tabulations from 1978 to 2015 for both the rural and the urban surveys.…”

We combine national accounts, surveys, and new tax data to study the accumulation and distribution of income and wealth in China from 1978 to 2015. The national wealth-income ratio increased from 350 percent in 1978 to 700 percent in 2015, while the share of public property in national wealth declined from 70 percent to 30 percent. We provide sharp upward revision of official inequality estimates. The top 10 percent income share rose from 27 percent to 41 percent between 1978 and 2015; the bottom 50 percent share dropped from 27 percent to 15 percent. China’s inequality levels used to be close to Nordic countries and are now approaching US levels. (JEL D31, E01, E23, O11, P24, P26, P36)

“…Moreover, many schools are appearing in Mainland China delivering a fusion of national (Chinese) and international curricula (A-Levels, IGCSE, AP, IBDP, Ontario, Alberta). These schools have been labelled "Chinese Internationalised Schools" (CISs) (Author, 20XX) and are characterized by the uneasy coexistence of national and international orientations (Author, 20XX), which is being termed "cosmopolitan nationalism" (Wright, Ma, & Auld, 2021). Numbering about 560 in April 2019 (Atak, 2019) they are staffed both by local Chinese hires, and overseas expatriates, many of whom will not have a teaching licence.…”

International Schools in China and teacher turnover: the need for a more nuanced approach towards precarity reflecting agency

The under-theorized arena of "English-speaking International Schooling" continues to grow and morph. The continuous growth seems paradoxical in light of the well-established view that the arena is an insecure and precarious working environment characterized by short-term contracts and subsequent high rates of annual turnover per school. We investigate this paradoxical situation in Asia Pacific, where a newer and large body of "Non-Traditional" models are beginning to appear. Here we ask: "what coping strategies do teachers adopt to survive, and even thrive on, the precarity as experienced by the short term contract?". Our study of three teachers in the under-researched arena of "Chinese Internationalised Schools" in Mainland China reveals and explores how they plan their transitions both within and from school-to-school strategically, taking advantage of insecurity and precarity rather than merely being the victims of it. We develop a new concept of "transition capital", which encompasses a newer, more nuanced approach, imagining the social reality of being a teacher as being a mixture of both an isolated "global educational precariat" and a member of a privileged "global middle class", with much agency. Turnover offers an accumulation of resilience through experiences, which in turn are empowering and advantageous in the long-run.

“…Not only can the English terms used in bilingual commercials have "memorability" and a sense of humor, they are often "attention-getters", the aim of English in Chinese advertising is to persuade viewers or readers. Additionally, Wright et al (2021) asserted that the usage of English in Japanese ads reflects the country's "cosmopolitan identity". Wright et al (2021) argues that while English is a prestige language in Indonesia and is synonymous with elitism, it should not be forgotten that Indonesian regional dialects and languages have historically been associated with identity and national picture.…”

Any nation on the planet that wishes to achieve meaningful success must embark on developmental endeavors. They are responsible for maintaining a peaceful sociopolitical environment for their people. It does, however, differ significantly by region and place. Utilizing democratic jargon in news bulletins helps to criticize the stance and provide the public with literary satire. The aim of this research is to show the impact of 'Open Data' on the development of news bulletins. The OD analysis helps news marketers to ascertain the degree to which their bulletin captures the interest of audiences. Pakistan's economy is insufficient to provide the standard of security needed by its citizens. Numerous strategies have been emphasized to achieve this aim, enabling the government to prioritize its people' health. The open data scheme, which allows widespread access to databases, is one of these crucial advancements within Pakistan's architecture. There are online repositories that motivate their users to achieve greater success in existence. It improves their ability to read and comprehend and teaches them to think creatively. Additionally, it allows them to hone their ability to learn and make the requisite compromises to maximize the potential of their talents. Although there is some pressure to use private data sources, it is critical to remember that not all data is safe. As a consequence, individuals must capture and use this type of clear data. The thesis evaluates the benefits and drawbacks of using current data systems inside the newsroom in order to determine their effect on Pakistan's political communication. The use of open data in news analysis allows journalists to work more efficiently; it is important to have immediate access to each item of news. In other words, these structures allow national institutions to operate with a high degree of accountability. Thus, the possibility of encountering an element of inequality in a world capable of wreaking havoc is extremely remote. Open data models are important for innovation and creativity to accelerate. It has been shown that it was instrumental in establishing a trend of revolutionary development that was fuelled by the provision of these facilities. Five privately owned news organizations with the highest scores were selected to gather data. A critical conversation was held to ascertain the words they used to attract interest.
