Furthermore, in the extended STIRPAT model, it was found that population and economic and technological factors differentially affect lung-accessible particulate matter concentrations in shrinking cities. This study gives a new idea and insight into the changes in environmental pollution in shrinking ...
Dramatic improvements in life expectancy, adult and child mortality have resulted in a seismic shift in China’s population from a predominantly young to a rapidly ageing population within a period of 50 years. By 2050, it is projected that China’s ≥65 year old population will exceed that...
The number of women entering the childbearing age, however, will be shrinking, resulting in a continuous decline in the total number of women of childbearing age, he said, adding that the internal aging population structure will also bring greater downward pressure on the newborns. ...
Urbanization rate Urbanization is measured using the proportion of non-agricultural population to the total population of the region at the end of the year66. On the one hand, the higher the urbanization rate, the greater the consumption of urban resources, which is prone to resource crises. On...
An Aging Population: The Slow-Moving Tide Here’s a problem that’s creeping up slow, but steady: China’s getting old. With the one-child policy now in the rearview mirror, the country’s starting to see the effects of years without enough new folks to replace the old ones. The popu...
Top-down environmental policies directive reducing pollution emissions without meticulous examination of the negative externalities and supported by the general public could lead to “shrinking cities” eventually. Although China’s ETS has a promoting effect on LEE, several key practical and theoretical ...
As a middle-income country, China is experiencing a significant demographic shift characterized by a population aging. This shift has heightened the risk of depression among its older citizens, particularly in rural areas. Extensive studies consistently underscore a high prevalence of depressive symptoms...
Despite the received wisdom about China’s inexorable urbanisation, the country now hasmore than 900 cities that are shrinkinglike Qiqihar, most of them in the north-east. The demographic consequences, in the form of an increasingly elderly population, offer another preview of tomorrow’s China. ...
