Over the past decade, China has invested time and money into developing their power grids and the development of roads and highways, amongst other things. Their increase in infrastructure has increased the quality of life for everybody involved. Because they are able to hire cheap labor, they have been able to employ hundreds, if not thousands, in order to continue their growth, which makes way for quality of life improvements. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, “China spent 9% of GDP on infrastructure...” (Laurel Graefe). That is a very measurable amount of money!

These have been caused by technological change; by fuller integration into world markets, along with the rise of competition from lower wage countries in the production of manufactured goods (and increasingly, services); and by changes in the pattern of consumption as real incomes rise. The sustained loss of jobs in the production of goods has lead to a major decline in job opportunities for men who have only modest levels of formal education. But it is also evident in the withdrawal from the workforce altogether of such men. In contrast, the expanding areas of the economy have been particularly likely to employ women, whose share of paid work has been rising steadily (especially for married women and women with dependent children).

China’s population began booming and has increased by about 10% every year for the last decade (Albert and Xu, 2016). While the population increases so does the industrialization of the country which in turn increases the carbon emissions and pollution. The water is also becoming increasingly
