In this paper I have also compared the economy of both China and India. This paper also provide detail information abot GDP per capita also economic growth. I will be discussing about different causes of develoment of Chinese economy. IntroductionIndia is the country having higb democratic view in the world. In case of China , It is country with very high populaion compared to India. (western European world). “India and China are the bigger market for them because of due to ever increasing middle class consumer society.” The frequent increment in the market power of this two powerful economies have been a easy access in the context of global economy in regards of corporate sector. United states is also considering India as leader . President Barack Obama said, “It is an emerging power and a responsible global power”. With an enormous young peoples (Minimum age of 25) and with an outstanding average 8% annual GDP growth rate. As we can see in future perspective India is expected to be power house of the world in the case of economic activity. (Goldman Sachs and other economists) In case of China it is as equal can be taken as best economy in the context of Asia. china economy is also given good mark by European countrys too. In todays economic world both India and China are the competitors . who will be influencing higher in Asia and global market India or China? as would the question would arise and its a difficult question to answer. As for the fact both the countries are being dominant in Asia. In today context , China is more superior to India . In every sectors it is competitive i.e. manufacturing, trade and commerce its a huge achievement for the country china. India and China are on their competitive road with a vision of proving their to prove their dominance in Asia. Beside being a competitor , they have got same resourece i.e. the young working population as a powerful force which would help them to become and achieve an outstanding economy in world. we can easily see that how China has already commenced to shape up their economy through its own communistic way of development strategy i.e. antithesis of liberal capital economy. Comparision Of China And India EconomyThe economies of India and China considered to be largest economies in todays world. While we can observe major differences in contxt of size, composition and other quantitative and qualitative features while having motive of comparing China and India. In case of India, It has very smaller economy as compared to china , considering only about a 5th of Chinas. Its exports are also fraction of Chinas,as it applies in the contsxt of import too. Indias economy is Highlt dependent on huge internal market having external trade accounting only with 20% of the Nations GDP. We can observe that vague difference inregards of China. As large portion of chinas economy is because of an International trade. In fact, Indias balance of payments (BoP) on its current account is negative .
In the context of china , The growth rates that has been achieved by them is controlled by indices of inequality. Current Gini Index, a measure of inequality of income/wealth, of India is 36.8, where as for China it is 46.9, which we can see is comparatively very large. However In case of China it is sucesfful to decrease its poverty line to 10% as India is county whose 22% are living below poverty line.I would like to further compare India and China economy with the help of following factors which would help us to undertand more cleary. Political EconomyThe history of China and India is different and is also very critical for explaining regarding the growth contrast. China always has been a large a stable which has been centrally controlled state which we can see through out its history where it lacks limited periods of instability and single authority. While incase of Indias history it is exactly reverse..Infrastructurewhile doing Comparision to India, China has a best improved infrastructure. Some of the important factors that differntiate them are manpower and labor development, water management, health care facilities and services, communication, etc. While India has also been developing phase ,it is still facing the obstacle of lack of civic amenities. unlike India, China is still spending large amounts with a motive of bringing improvement in manpower development and strengthening infrastructure.EducationIn field of Education, 99.1 % of Chinese children would attend school for 9 years, having very huge level of literacy. While in case of India, literacy is 50 to 60% .Both the countries faces similar challenges in education sectors having an tough competition for admission matter. But in case of China it is well developed 100 high quality institutions and is still increasing to invest in many other institution too. As a result China is producing top quality students comparing India. HealthIn general, for both countries, infectious diseases is rapidly been increasing . while it is very much higher in the context of India. WhilE globalisation would help to widen inequalities in health and healthcare in both countries there is a fact that local circumstances are always essential especially having a full respect towards the structure and financing of health care and in the activty of implementation inregards of health policy.Understanding about GDP per capita and Economic Growth Rate of two giants china and IndiaIn year 2016 GDP per capita of China was $8123.2 while in case of India the GDP per capita was $1709.5 (World Bank, 2016).
