DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/004c6a/understanding_chin) has
announced the addition of the "Understanding China's Demographics" report to
their offering. 

China is a very large country both geographically and in terms of population and
it is important that those doing business in China have an understanding of how
the population is organised geographically, as well as having an understanding
of the key drivers of population change. This report is written as an
'introduction' to those issues. It starts by detailing the geo-demographic
structure of the country (Municipalities, Provinces, Prefectures and
counties/cities). It explains the different categories of cities and counties,
their relative size and growth. 

The report also examines the urban/rural divide. What is the definition of
urban, how does the urban and rural populations differ? The report then examines
the rural to urban drift. What are the drivers of it, who is migrating, and how
will the rate of migration trend in the future given the drivers of it. 

Births are examined, next. What is the likely true level of births, the extent
to which the one child policy affects births, the relative importance of cities,
towns and rural populations to total births, and the likely impact on total
births if the one child policy is relaxed. 

Finally the report examines household incomes and shows estimated average
household income as well as the distribution of households by income level, and
why these numbers are defensible. It then shows the current average household
income for each of urban and rural households and the number of more affluent
households households that exist
