Minister: China needs to resolve population problems
Posted On 2:47 AM by onefreakgirl | | 0 comments
It has to manage the largest population in the world, which will continue to put tremendous stress upon the country’s economy, natural resources and environment, said Li Bing, minister of the Population and Family Planning Commission.
China’s population will peak in the first half of this century to reach 1.5 billion in 2033, increasing by 8 million a year on average, he said.

The problem of employment will keep troubling the central as well as local governments. Its working population – people aged between 15 and 64 – will peak in 2016 to reach 990 million; 970 million in 2030 and 870 million in 2050, Li said.
Meanwhile, the governments must come up with policies to enable farmers who migrate into cities to enjoy the same rights as their urban peers. Some 300 million people will migrate from rural areas to settle in urban areas in the coming 20 to 30 years.
The country will also have to work out measures to handle well its aging population. The number of the Chinese aged 60 and above is expected to reach 162.4 million in 2020, and 320 million in 2040s.
According to a calculation of Cai Fang, a social researcher and director of the Population and Labor Economics Research Institute, of the China Academy of Social Sciences, the Chinese aged between 50 and 64 account for 20 per cent of the working age population.
However, many of them retire at ages such as 51, much earlier than the legal retirement age, either by forced arrangement or out of their own will. “This is a tremendous waste of labor resources,” he said.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'
Moral of the story:The first painting is one is of a bottle that looks like it is coming out the side of the trailer.
The second is a canvas tote bag:
The third is of Pepsi cases and they are all stacked on the ceiling, and the bottom of the trailer is empty: 1st ghost : How u died?
2nd ghost : I died of cold.
1st ghost : How does it feel when you're dying in cold?
2nd ghost : Actually, I was accidentally locked in the refrigerator.
Initially, I was shivering, then my whole body started to freeze, later I felt the whole world was dark and I died suffocating.
1st ghost : Wow what a horrible way to die....
2nd ghost : How about you? How u die?
1st ghost : I died from heart attack.
2nd ghost : I see, why did u have a heart attack?
1st ghost : Actually, I found out that my wife is having an affair with another man.
One day, when I came back from work, saw a pair of man shoes outside my house. Then, I realized that the guy was in my house with my wife. When I rushed into the bedroom, my wife was alone.
I must find where that Guy is hiding. So I searched the toilet, I ran downstairs, looked in the storeroom, but the Guy was not there. So, I ran upstairs and searched the wardrobe, but I found nothing.
Because of all that running,I got a heart attack and died.
2nd ghost : Why you never look for the Guy in the fridge? The Guy was hiding there. We both might be alive now!!
The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said ,'Things are great and I've never felt better.' I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child.'So what do you think about that Doc ?'
The doctor considered his question for a minute and Then began to tell a story.'I have an older friend , much like you, who is an avid hunter And never misses a season.'
One day he was setting off to go hunting.In a bit of a hurry , he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun.'
'As he neared a lake , he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water's edge.
He realized he'd left his gun at home and so he couldn't shoot the magnificent creature.Out of habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as If it were his favorite hunting rifle and went 'bang, bang'.'
'Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead.
Now, what do you think of that?' asked the doctor.The 86-year-old said ,
'Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else
Pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver.'
The doctor replied , 'My point exactly.'
Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket and jeans.
Saint Peter addresses him, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you into the Kingdom of Heaven?"
The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi driver, from New York ."
Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
Now it's the priest's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am the Right Reverend Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's for the last forty-three years." Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the priest, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
"Just a minute," says the priest. "That man was a taxi driver. Why does he get a silken robe and golden staff?"
"Results," shrugged Saint Peter. "While you preached, people slept. When he drove, people prayed."
Moral of the story :
It's Performance, Not Position, That Counts
The crowd was shocked!
He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!"
The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well received.
About a week later, one of the top managers who had the training decided to use that joke at his house. He tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It was a bit foggy to him.
He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"
Naturally, his wife was shell shocked, murmuring.
After standing there for almost 10 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who she was !"
As expected, he got thrashing of his life time....
Moral of the story: Don't copy if you can't paste

ANOTHER MANAGEMENT LESSON
Boss: "Do you know the meaning of resignation? "
Trainee: "Yes I do"
Boss: "So let me make you understand what a appraisal is by comparing it with resignation"
Comparison study : Appraisal and Resignation
**********
In appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.
In resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.
**********
In appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even 10% hike.
In resignation you can easily demand (or get even without asking) more than 50-60% hike.
**********
During appraisal, they will deny promotion saying you didn't meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and you had several drawbacks in our objective/goal.
During resignation, they will say you are the core member of team; you are the vision of the company how can you go, you have to take the project in shoulder and lead your juniors to success.
**********
There is 90% chance for not getting any significant incentives after appraisal.
There is 90% chance of getting immediate hike after you put the resignation.
**********
Trainee: "Yes boss enough, now I understood my future. For an appraisal I will have to resign ... !!!"
