The Changing Landscape of NGOs in China | CAF America

The Changing Landscape of NGOs in China | CAF America



All eyes have been on China, with one fifth of the world’s population,
the second largest economy in the world, and an annual GDP growth rate
of ~10%. However, in tandem with such tremendous growth there has been a
parallel increase in social and environmental challenges. From
excessive coal burning and dangerous levels of pollution (to the point
where it is affecting the ability to attract employees in large cities),
to huge income disparities and migrant worker challenges as workers
flee to the cities to earn a livelihood but do not have the legal right
to reside in those cities.
