Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents empirical observations and theoretical thinking of the fundamental changes in the Chinese economy. It starts with a warning of the arrival of the Lewis Turning Point, which is empirically proven by disappearance of surplus labor force and a rapid increase in wages of unskilled workers. It further reveals that China's rapid population-aging trend is diminishing the demographic dividend that has kept China's economic growth rate high. Subsequently, it touches upon employment challenges that arise after reaching the Lewis Turning Point, further propelling urbanization, a balance |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores the role of algae in agrobiology, highlighting its historical and contemporary applications in agriculture and livestock breeding. Algae have been used traditionally for soil amendment and fertilization, contributing to crop production, particularly in European coastal regions. The book delves into the biological activities of algae, including its impact on plant growth, stress tolerance, and defense mechanisms, as well as its nutritional benefits in animal feed, enhancing zootechnical performance and health. Aimed at researchers and practitioners in agriculture and biology, the book emphasizes algae's significance in sustainable practices and ecological production, aligning with agrobiological and organic agriculture goals. |
