Universiade

The name is a combination of the words "University" and "Olympiad". The Universiade is referred to in English as the World University Games or World Student Games; however, this latter term can also refer to competitions for sub-University grades students. The Universiade is the largest multi-sport event in the world apart from the Olympic Games.[1] The most recent games were in 2019: the Winter Universiade was in Krasnoyarsk, Russia while the Summer Universiade was held in Naples, Italy. The 2021 Winter Universiade will take place in Lucerne, Switzerland between 11 and 21 December 2021,[2][3] and the 2021 Summer Universiade will be held in Chengdu, China between 18 and 29 August 2021.

Η χώρα, όπως όλα δείχνουν, προετοιμάζεται από το 2009 για το μεγάλο γεγονός, όμως υπάρχουν και οι «παράπλευρες απώλειες», που αφορούν τις οικογένειες που ζουν στις φτωχογειτονιές της πόλης, τις γνωστές φαβέλες, από τις οποίες οι αρχές εκτοπίζουν με αναγκαστικές εξώσεις τους ανθρώπους με το πρόσχημα της κατασκευής έργων υποδομής. Αυτό τουλάχιστον ισχυρίζονται Μη Κυβερνητικές Οργανώσεις, που υπερασπίζονται τα δικαιώματα στέγασης των φτωχών του Ρίο ντε Τζανέιρο.

China’s urbanization rate will hit 60% by 2018, a startling transformation from below 20% 40 years ago, reflecting China’s remarkable economic development.

Migrant Workers: A Vast Problem China Must Solve

There is, however, a dark underbelly of China’s urbanization - migrant workers – over 280 million people – almost one-third of urban populations. Second-class citizens in the cities that they themselves built by the strength of their backs and the sweat of their brows, migrant workers are one of China’s most pressing problems. How unfair that those who sacrificed so much to enable China’s economic miracle enjoy so little of its fruits - with limited social services, especially health care and education. Long-term, everyone recognizes that migrant workers must be integrated fully into city life. But how to pay for it?

Common mental health problems in rural-to-urban migrant workers in Shenzhen, China: prevalence and risk factors.

Prevalence estimates of common mental health problems (CMHPs) in previous studies varied widely and very few studies have investigated migration-related factors of CMHPs in migrant workers. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of CMHPs among Chinese migrant workers. METHODS:A random sample of 3031 migrant workers of ten manufacturing factories in Shenzhen, China, completed a standardised questionnaire containing socio-demographic and migration-related variables and the Chinese 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). A GHQ-12 score of three or higher was used to denote the presence of CMHPs. RESULTS:The prevalence of CMHPs was 34.4% in Chinese migrant workers.
