Quality of Life in China
Everyone knows about china and all the products that come from it so if china sells all that stuff it must be rich right? Wrong china is a country with an average disposable income per head 4535.48 as of 2015 this is comparing to the 44,017 in the USA as of 2016
China has the largest education system in the world but how educational is it? The china government puts 4% of their GDP in their education system but the US only puts 3.6 as of 2012. In 1986 the Chinese government passed a law that forced children to go to school for 9 years the 9 years are also free. This is a good law because then all kids get an education. All in all the Chinese education system does not seem that far off from the west.
China spends about the same amount of their GDP on health care as Canada so I will compare china to Canada for this paragraph. China spends about 4% of their GDP on their health care the same as Canada's famous health care system but there are very different when it comes to treatment. China's life expectancy is low compared to Canada's coming in at 75.2 years this is comparing to Canada's 81.85 years. From the information and videos, I have watched and seen the tension between doctors and patients are high doctors overcharge and prescribe. This is far worse than I would have thought.
As you read in the introduction the disposable income per head is 4535.48 this is low compared to Canada or the US but let's look deeper into china's economy. China's unemployment rate is very good compared to Canada's or the US coming in at a low 4.2%. China is communist which is bad for the economy this is probably the reason china has not become as successful as its neighbor japan. After reviewing these facts I would say china has a strong economy but still one that most people would not want to work in.
China has its ups and downs. For example, their education is was not bad but their healthcare was not so good. I would say it is better than a lot of places in the world but still far away from the standards of the west I would not want to live there but I am sure lots of people would be happy to trade positions with them.
