China's upcoming labor shortage
Asia Times quotes more extensively from a CASS-study on China's upcoming labor shortage, we already mentioned in May.
New it the association the report makes with the so-called "Lewisian turning point":
"Lewisian turning point" is based on a theory of Nobel laureate Arthur Lewis (1915-91), who said a developing country's industrial wages begin to rise quickly at the point when the supply of surplus labor from the countryside tapers off.

The original CASS paper mentions the Lewis turning point rather a lot. If you like I can send a copy (in Chinese) that the professor kindly forwarded to me.
