Staff and students are invited to attend a lecture by Professor Dudley Poston, of Texas A&M University, on Wednesday 11 May at 13:00 in Room 1067, Building 58, Highfield Campus.
Hosted by the Centre for Population Change and the China Research Centre, this lecture will focus on the impact that changes in China’s demography over the past few decades could have on the United States, and the rest of the world.
It is predicted some of the issues to face China in the next few decades will be that their global dominance in manufacturing will end, there will not be enough Chinese women for Chinese men to marry, HIV/AIDS infection rates will rise substantially, and Chinese immigrants to America will outnumber those from Mexico.
Professor Poston is a world leading expert in the demography of China, Taiwan, and Korea. In a career spanning four decades he has published extensively, with over 300 publications on various demographic and sociological topics. He is the only non-Chinese person to ever be elected to be President of the North American Chinese Sociologists Association.
Book your free place through Eventbrite.
