Rich getting richer faster as wealth gap widens

Rich getting richer faster as wealth gap widens
THE gap between rich and the poor in China is widening despite a substantial growth in incomes since 1978, according to the latest research.
The average income of the richest 10 percent of the urban population was 8.9 times that of the poorest 10 percent in 2009 compared with 2.9 times in 1985, while urban residents earned 3.3 times more than their rural counterparts in 2009, according to a Chinese consumer research report published by Science Press.
Earnings have increased markedly since China opened its door to the world in 1979, but along with that has come a yawning divide betweenwholesale fashion jewellery rich and poor and the urban and rural population, according to the report.
From 1978 to 2010, the urban per capita disposable income soared 55 times. Rural residents, however, wholesale jewelrysaw a 43-fold increase in their income.
The earnings gap between the city and the countryside narrowed to 1.8 to 2.3 times during the 1980s from 2.5 to 2.6 times in the late 1970s, but wholesale jewelry from chinawidened to 3.3 times in 2009. Experts, taking into account housing subsidies, health care, education and other social welfare benefits that urban citizens are entitled to, said the actual income disparity may reach six times.
The biggest problem in bridging the gap is that the rich are getting richer more quickly. The richest 10 percent of the urban population enjoyed a 37-fold increase in their income from 1985 to 2009 while the middle 20 percent saw a 21-fold increase. But the poorest 10 percent saw their incomes rise just 12-fold.
The Gini coefficient, a key gauge of income inequality, shows that the yawning gap between China's rich and poor is already pushing the boundaries of social stability.
Ranging from zero, representing identical incomes among the entire population, to one, which means all income goes to one person, the gauge points to 0.4jewelry wholesaler as an warning sign of inequality. China's figure, which had passed the 0.4 mark 10 years ago, climbed up to 0.48 in 2010.
"The disparity between the rich and the poor has gone way beyond the reasonable extent," said Chang Xiuze, professor at Macro Economic Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission.

US port protest ends with dozens arrested

US port protest ends with dozens arrested

A PROTEST that shut down the US Port of Oakland to show the broadening reach of the Occupy Wall Street movement ended in violence when police in riot gear arrested dozens of protesters who broke into a vacant building, shattered downtown windows and set blazes.

At least four protesters were in hospital yesterday with various injuries. Several officers were also injured.

Protester Monique Agnew, 40, said: "We go from having a peaceful movement to just chaos."

Protesters also threw pieces of concrete and metal pipes, and lit roman candles and molotov cocktails.

The protesters, challenging the world's economic systems and distribution of wealth, have gained momentum in recent weeks, capturing the world's attention by shutting down one of the nation's busiest shipping ports toward the end of a daylong "general strike" that prompted solidarity rallies across the US.

Several thousand people converged on the Port of Oakland, the nation's fifth-busiest harbor, in a nearly five-hour protest on Wednesday.

Port spokesman Isaac Kos-Read said evening operations had been "effectively shut down."

Port officials hoped to resume maritime operations yesterday "and port workers will be allowed to get to their jobs without incident."

Kos-Read said: "Continued missed shifts represent economic hardship for maritime workers,,hair weave, truckers and their families, as well as lost jobs and lost tax revenue for our region."

Supporters in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and elsewhere staged smaller-scale demonstrations. Each group said its protest was a show of support for the Oakland movement,,Nike shox shoes, which became a rallying point when an Iraq War veteran was seriously injured in a clash with police last week.

Organizers in Oakland viewed the strike and port shutdown as a significant victory.Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Police said about 7,000 people participated in demonstrations throughout the day that were peaceful except for a few incidents of vandalism.

In Philadelphia, protesters were arrested earlier on Wednesday as they held a sit-in at the headquarters of cable giant Comcast.

In New York, about 100 military veterans marched in uniform and stopped in front of the New York Stock Exchange, standing in loose formation as police officers on scooters separated them from the entrance. On the other side was a lineup of New York Police Department horses carrying officers with nightsticks.

Jerry Bordeleau, a former Army specialist who served in Iraq until 2009, said: "We are marching to express support for our brother (Iraq war veteran) Scott Olsen, who was injured in Oakland."

"Wall Street corporations have played a big role in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," said Bordeleau,discount fashion jewelry now a college student. He said private contractors have reaped big profits in those countries.

Ed Clancy could give up omnium to favour team pursuit

Ed Clancy could give up omnium to favour team pursuit

The 26-year-old, part of the team pursuit quartet in Beijing and a former omnium world champion, won the European title in the Netherlands last weekend.

"The omnium is more an endurance-man's game now and that doesn't suit me too well," Clancy told BBC Sport.

"I'm all for the team pursuit, whatever it takes - I'll scrap this omnium, I'll leave it alone."

The omnium is a two-day event, spanning six separate races designed to equally test sprint and endurance capabilities, and is new to the Olympic programme for London 2012.,Miami Hurricanes Jerseys,

Clancy won the world title in the event in 2010 and he is currently British Cycling's preferred candidate to ride in the event at the Games.

But he was surprised to take European gold in the Dutch town of Apeldoorn, as he believes alterations to the format have removed some of his advantage.

"The omnium's changed a little since 2010. The elimination race has managed to find its way in there, and the distances in the points race and scratch race are quite different,,Florida Gators Jerseys," he said.

"I tend to be better in the shorter, punchier races and it's taken me a while to get used to the new format.

"I don't think I am the best omnium rider in the world - I'm not going to win all the time. Team pursuit's where it's at in my mind; I really want to get hold of that and there's nothing like it when a team pursuit goes well, so I'm making a push for that."

Clancy rode in the pursuit team which won European gold in Apeldoorn on Friday, but the British quartet missed their target time and performance director Dave Brailsford has admitted there is "work to be done" ahead of February's World Cup in London.

Australia, the world champions in men's team pursuit, set a time of three minutes, 57.,Milwaukee Bucks Jerseys,832 seconds on the same track at the World Championships.

Britain had been looking to challenge that mark last week, but produced a ride of 4:00.008 in their final.

"We weren't a million miles from [our target] - we've got work to do there, but we've got time as well and a good plan," said Clancy.

"I want to be the best team pursuiter I can be, and being good at team pursuit will give me the form I need to ride a good omnium.

"I'm not going to spend the next nine months specifically training for the omnium because, physically, the team pursuit training takes care of that.

"If I get a ride in the omnium because of the team pursuit, great. If not, hopefully I'll go on to do good things in the team pursuit and I'll be happy with that."
