Although the Chinese economy is growing at a very high rate, there are massive social dislocations arising as a result of economic restructuring. Though the scale of the problem is huge, very few studies have examined the changes in income inequality in the late 1990s due to a lack of data on household incomes. Based on extensive original research, this book redresses this imbalance, examining the issue of unemployment and the problems it has brought for the people of China. Investigating the market outcomes in post-reform urban China, the book focuses on the relationships between unemployment, inequality, and poverty. In addition, the authors provide an analysis on the emerging urban labour market and its stratified structure, job mobility, profit sharing, and the role of social capital. Empirical analysis is supported by rich data from nationally representative urban household and rural migrant surveys, providing the latest picture of the widening inequality in Chinese urban society.

This book presents selected papers from the 23rd Asia Pacific Symposium on Intelligent and Evolutionary Systems (IES 2019), which was held in Tottori, Japan, on December 6–8, 2019.

Today, various types of intelligent system can be found everywhere. However, none of them can be developed or understood from only one perspective. As such, this book collects unique ways of thinking about intelligent systems.

It discusses evolutionary and complex adaptive systems, which have been useful approaches for tackling intelligent systems. It also examines the recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence that are driving research on intelligent systems.

Addressing topics related to intelligent transport systems, machine learning and neural networks, data science and decision analytics, evolutionary and nature-inspired computation, and agents and complex systems, this book is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners wanting to develop or understand intelligent and evolutionary systems.

This book examines how Japan, transforming itself into a society that celebrates its rich diversity, is now providing support to its children and youth. It presents a multilayered picture of support provided to, or planned for, young people from the perspective of Human Sciences. It overturns stereotypical impressions of education and youth services in Japan. Part One ''Diversity and Inclusion in School Curriculum'' depicts the latest trends, ranging from the reality of ''Tokkatsu'' to the transformation of extracurricular activities, and the state of educational support for children with special needs. Part Two ''Inclusive Society and Lifelong Learning'' takes a broader view of learning and focuses on the latest practices for building an inclusive society. Part Three ''Support and Assessment in School and Society'' includes analytical papers centered on the evaluation of programs aimed at establishing people''s well-being, and well-being itself. This book offers multiple perspectives and serves as a valuable literature source for researchers.
