Quote:
"United Nations projections show that the country is at a tipping point: The
number of 15- to 24-year-olds is set to fall by 62 million people—or more
than 27 percent—to 164 million people, in the 15 years through 2025.
"Products that China’s customs agency doesn’t classify as high-tech, such
as clothes, shoes, and furniture, made up about 68 percent of exports last
year, or $1.09 trillion, little changed from their 71 percent share in 2005.
"Only five economies—Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore—
have graduated from middle-income nations to developed country status while
maintaining relatively high growth rates, according to Nobel laureate
Michael Spence, a professor of economics and business at New York University
’s Stern School of Business.
My comment:
(a) About UN numbers. United Nations tweaks the numbers a bit every year.
BusinessWeek may be citing the latest figures.
