Demographic Transition The way natural increase rate increases is by the birth rates and death rates. If the birth rates are high and the death rates are low then the NIR goes up. China is just about to enter stage 3 the perfect stage for manufacturing. The only thing inhibiting it is the percent of secondary workers. There is plenty of land in China to farm so the leftover effects of the agricultural revolution are still in play. With of course the industrial revolution has made manufacturing much more effective so China has adopted manufacturing and there are now many people looking for jobs in the manufacturing field.

Demographic Analysis Country Name Population Growth HDILife Expectancy LiteracyPer Capita GDP China0.470.66373.093.37,513 India1.410.62264.766.73,727 Mongolia1.490.51966.897.33,290 The people in China live the longest, and are very educated. So they can work longer and do more difficult tasks with out pay raise. Their population growth is a lot smaller then India and Mongolia so there won’t be people to do the jobs in the future. The Chinese earn more money so they would have to be paid more.

Agriculteral-39.5% Manufactoring-27.25% Services-33.25% Because there are so many people in China there are still hundred thousand manufacturing workers that need jobs. The labor is cheep. And because China is almost in stage 3 it will be in stage 3 for a longer time and your investment will be long term. Economic Development

Social Stability China is a communist country. They promised many freedoms but have not lived up to many of those promises some that have been broken include freedom of press and freedom of speech. Even though it is a communist country there are still some elections. China has strict laws. The most famous is the one child policy. There is inhuman punishment for law breaking. Because it is a communist country there are many chances for a leader to become corrupt. That is why they created a Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches.
13
Conclusion China is not very close to the markets so the cost of shipping is high. Although the labor is very cheep. The communist leaders might be able to take over the factory although it is not that likely. There are lots of phone and internet connections so headquarters could easily stay in touch. There are many forms of transportation and many waterways, roads, railroad tracks and airports. The taxes are low. And finally there are lots of workers. The good out ways the bad. China would be a good place to locate a factory.
