Amartya Sen: Women’s Progress Outdid China’s One-Child Policy

Amartya Sen: Women’s Progress Outdid China’s One-Child Policy | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From www.nytimes.com - April 2, 2016 2:13 PM
What really brought down China’s birthrate was its education and empowerment of women, not the one-child policy.

Skuuppilehdet's insight:
Time and again we are reminded that to move a country out of poverty, governments need to invest in the health and education of their citizens, especially women (who have been the forgotten gender), and allow women of all ages to be empowered with choice.

Why Sydney is on course to lose its status as Australia's biggest city | Human Interest | Scoop.it
From www.smh.com.au - April 9, 2014 1:12 AM
The Bureau of Statistics predicted Melbourne’s population will overtake Sydney’s by 2053. Other forecasters reckon the Victorian capital’s numerical ascendancy could arrive by the late 2030s or even earlier.

It's all about geography, planning and the location of the CBD.
Tracy Galvin's curator insight, May 3, 2014 5:45 PM

Melbourne's business district is more centrally located and therefore a shorter commute for anyone that lives in the city. In order for Sydney to be able to compete they will probably have to establish a second business district in the West to attract people that live on that side of the city.

From www.youtube.com - February 25, 2014 11:19 PM

"Vast new cities are being built across China at a rate of ten a year, but they remain almost completely uninhabited ghost towns. Racing to stay ahead of the world economy, is the superpower about to implode?"
