export led growth? Several symptoms – local shortages of workers, wage rises– might make you believe it. In reality, although the
demand for labour has become stronger in the last few years, China still has considerable labour reserves. It is only around 2015 that
demographic changes will have an influence toward a reversal of the situation in the labour market. |
