The remarkable transformation of the Chinese economy in terms of
its structure and growth has drawn unprecedented attention from
academics, policy makers and businessmen alike. In the past four
decades, China swiftly transformed from a centrally-planned to a
market-oriented economy, with an economic size just behind the US
and ahead of Japan. Amid commendations for China's economic success
offering valuable reform and growth lessons to other developing
countries, underlying challenges have been emerging, which
constitute long-term risks in shaking China's sustainable success.
These challenges encompass a wide range of sectors and issues such
as the rural-urban divide, state monopoly, policy loans in the
banking sector, lack of skilled and sophisticated workers,
environmental degradation, etc. This book unveils the risks and
challenges embedded in China's spectacular economic success and
demonstrates that effective handling of these challenges is vital
for China to avoid falling into the "middle-income trap". It is
elucidated that feasible solutions are available to accommodate
these risks and the clue of success lies on the willingness and
ability of China's central leaders to implement further reforms.
This book is a valuable reference for undergraduate and
postgraduate students, academics, and public and business policy
makers who are concerned about the current status and future
development of the Chinese economy.

Motivated by the rapid increase in housing demand and the
population of older adults worldwide, this book provides an
interdisciplinary and multi-level approach for studying housing and
ageing issues and relevant policy analysis in China, and
beyond. Specifically, it highlights how the changing social,
economic, and political factors at both local and global levels
affect the housing or ageing experiences of people. Drawing on
findings and theoretical discussions in economics, history,
psychology, sociology, social policy, and urban studies, the
authors offer interdisciplinary perspectives on a highly topical
debate, asking what progress is being made on the formulation and
implementation of housing and ageing policies in different
societies. The book brings together original qualitative and
quantitative research works in European, Asia-Pacific and Chinese
contexts. Readers will benefit from the results of a rigorous
analysis of data and case studies that reveal factors affecting
housing or ageing experiences of people in these regions. The
interdisciplinary research also provides valuable insights on
further policy analyses and formulation in both local and global
contexts. It is of interest to scholars, policy makers and
university students in the fields of housing, ageing, and social
and public policy.
