China: The great fallIs China's pool of surplus labour drying up?A SEEMINGLY unlimited supply of labour has been one of the main forces behind China's rapid economic growth. But factory bosses have recently complained of labour shortages and wages have been rising more rapidly, leading some to conclude that China's “surplus” labour has been used up. The country's one-child policy, introduced in 1979, has caused the growth in its labour supply to slow sharply. The growth in the working-age population is expected to drop from an annual rate of 1.3% in 2005 to 0.1% by 2015. At the same time, the migration of workers from agriculture to industry will slow. In addition, the population is ageing, and there will be fewer of the young, single workers who are prefer

Cars: Greener, not leanerFaced with big penalties, carmakers are improving efficiencyTHERE is nothing like high oil prices and swingeing new penalties on carbon-spewing vehicles to concentrate the minds of carmakers. The European Commission plans to impose penalties on companies by 2012 if their fleets emit over 130 grams of carbon dioxide per km (g/km). After much complaining about the technical impossibility of compliance (especially from German makers of big luxury cars), companies have got on with rolling out new technologies to improve efficiency. BMW cut its average fleet emissions by 7.3% last year by using “efficient dynamics” across its range, according to T&E, a transport think-tank. Many carmakers saw little improvement, partly because cars got 10kg

Environment: What a wasteThe rubbish mountains growOVER 2.1 billion tonnes of rubbish were dumped around the world last year. Rich countries are the most wasteful, with each person chucking away 1.4kg of solid trash every day, but this has levelled off in recent years as the rich try to create less of it and to recycle more. As poorer nations grow richer they will produce more waste. In 2004 China surpassed America as the largest producer of rubbish: by 2030 it will be churning out nearly 500m tonnes a year. ...

Sport: Football crazyMore upheaval in English football, as investors from the Middle East spend $360m on Manchester CityFANS were surprised, in 2003, when a little-known Russian oil billionaire splashed out $226m for Chelsea football club. These days foreigners spending fortunes on English clubs is far more common. The Premier League has become the richest and most famous in the world. On Tuesday September 2nd, Manchester City, a mid-table team, changed hands for the second time in little over a year. Abu Dhabi United Group, a Middle-Eastern consortium backed by oil-rich royals, will pay $360m for the club, quite an improvement on the $165m paid in 2007. We have left out another club, Derby County, which was bought for some $100m in January but relegated in Jun

American politics: This is a man's worldDo men or women make better leaders?JOHN MCCAIN'S choice of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential candidate has brought the question of gender back into the American presidential race. The Republicans hope that Ms Palin, the governor of Alaska and a self-dubbed “hockey-mom”, will sway disillusioned supporters of Hillary Clinton as well as independent voters. In a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, Americans say that they think women are more likely to have the qualities needed to make a good leader. In the end, however, more would still opt for a man in charge. ...

Climate change: Of ice and menArctic sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rateTHIS week scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Centre gave warning that Arctic sea ice has receded to its second-smallest area since satellite records began in 1979. The rate of shrinkage this year is the fastest ever and, with around a month still left of summer, the current ice coverage of 5.3m square km could fall to less than the record low seen last September of 4.1m square km. This is bad news for the environment: Arctic ice reflects sunlight, keeping the region cool, and polar bear populations are predicted to fall by a third over the next 50 years as the creatures' habitat disappears. ...

Drugs: A cheaper fixOpium prices in Afghanistan tell a sorry storyTHE battle against the opium poppy in Afghanistan is not being won. Last year production reached another high of 8,200 tonnes, and a record 193,000 hectares of land were used for growing poppies. But the latest “Afghan Opium Survey” published by the UN on Tuesday August 26th gives some reasons for cheer. A combination of drought, higher wheat prices and stronger leadership by local governors will cause production to fall to 7,700 tonnes in 2008, and the land dedicated to poppy-growing will drop to 157,000 hectares. The global opium supply has outstripped demand in the past three years and prices have fallen accordingly. Attempts by big drug dealers to hold back some surplus to boost prices h

Religion and politics: Losing their religion?More Americans are questioning the role of religion in politicsRELIGION has always played an important role in American politics. But a new survey by the Pew Research Center suggests that a narrow majority of Americans now think that churches and other religious organisations should keep quiet when it comes to social and political matters. Most notable is the sharp increase since 2004 in Republicans who believe that churches should keep out of politics. This shift in opinion may represent frustration and disillusionment among social conservatives rather than a genuine desire for a political system free of religious influence. ...

Olympic sports: Shoot the pigeonOlympic sports we would like to see at London 2012THE Beijing Olympics may be over, but the long run-up to the London Olympics has begun. In 2012 baseball and softball will be dropped as Olympic events. Played by only a handful of countries, they join a long list of discontinued Olympic events. The 100m freestyle swim for sailors survived just one Olympics after being limited to sailors from the host country. If some other events are dropped—farewell to rhythmic gymnastics or synchronised swimming?—there might be space to bring back more unusual sports. Perhaps it is time again for live pigeon-shooting (in Trafalgar Square) or an old favourite, the tug-of-war. ...

Money: Feeling the pinchWho claims to be the most cash-strapped?THE rising prices of food and fuel have hurt wallets all over the place. But consumers react in different ways, and how they spend any spare cash differs too. A survey of 51 countries by Nielsen, a marketing-information firm, found that people in the Asia-Pacific region are more inclined to save than others, with 57% putting spare cash in the bank. Russians, perhaps catching up on years of no shopping, are more likely to spend their money on clothes. But the choice to spend or save is a luxury for many: nearly a quarter of American respondents say that they have no disposable income and consumer confidence is low. Europeans feature prominently among those who are feeling most cash-strapped. ...

The McDonnell Douglas-82 had passed an inspection in January, but questions are being asked about the safety of the ageing MD-80 series. In March, American Airlines grounded its fleet of MD-80s while it performed safety checks, and around 300 people have died in accidents involving the planes in the past three years. The worst civil-aircraft crashes in the past decade have generally happened in poorer countries, and are spread fairly evenly between planes made by the big aircraft manufacturers. ...
