The reform of social welfare in China
World Development, 1997 Abstract This article surveys and offers comparative reflections on the contours and achievements of China's pension system in light of its imminent collapse and the reassessment of development priorities associated with privatization, market transition and fiscal crisis since the late 1970s. It assesses various reform options including proposals for

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study presents a new biodegradable coating for titanium implants using a natural antimicrobial peptide, caerin 1.9. Applied via solvent casting, the coating offers sustained antibacterial protection and promotes healing. Tested on 3D‐printed porous titanium scaffolds, it effectively prevented infection—including against resistant bacteria—while ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Liquid metal additives are processed in elastomer host resulting in highly conductive and stretchable composites. The material functions as a piezoresistive sensor with minimal drift, low stiffness, and enhanced operating range. The film can replace wires to charge a mobile phone at ∼350% strain and monitors bodily motion in real‐time via a portable ...

What Are the Gains from Pension Reform? [PDF]
This paper presents a unified analytical framework for the analysis of social security reform. It discusses reform along two dimensions: Pay-As-You-Go versus fully funded on the one hand, and actuarial versus non-actuarial on the other. Making the system
