Yes, a unrealistic hypothetical handicap that assumes no growth PRC still escapes middle income. Realistically it will be significantly higher, i.e. stupid low growth of 2% until 2050 = ~30T with 1.2B people or 25K USD per capita by 2050, w

It's more that past priority correctly focused on suppressing population growth at all cost. I've pointed out in other comments in this thread but roughly 40% of PRC is still in informal economy making 2000 USD per year, contribut

Those are facts about women in Indian IT that employs 5M / 0.5% of population. Real concerning facts about women in India is they have some of the lowest female labour force participation rates in the world, excluding Arab countries. A
