China's biggest think tank, the Chinese Academy of Social
Sciences, has published its 2004 edition of the Green Book on
Population and Labor.
The book, whose main topics are demographic transitions and
educational development, explores the opportunities brought by
population shifts and ways to share educational resources equally.
It includes three special reports and nine chapters.
The special reports analyze the employment situation and Chinese
family planning policy in 2003 and offer suggestions for policies
and actions concerning employment in 2004.
The remainder of the book explains and examines the problems
that exist in Chinese educational development, especially in the
areas of inequality between genders and between rural and urban
areas. It also proposes solutions to these problems.
