Welcome to INSPIRE geoportal China: 2,000 Years of Income and Population Growth This graph shows the dramatic change in China's population and GDP per capita (especially in the last 200 years). Compare this to the graph of the World that I created earlier. {Click on the image to take a closer look} Data estimates for population and GDP per capita are from Angus Maddison Emeritus Professor, Faculty of Economics, University of Groningen. 1990 international Geary-Khamis dollars are purchasing power parities (PPPs) used to evaluate output which are calculated based on international prices.

European markets recover, UK paper apologises for Société Générale rumours European markets picked up on Thursday morning after Wednesday’s fall, which was largely prompted by rumours that France was set to follow the US in losing its AAA credit rating. France’s Cac 40 bounced back after plunging 5.45 per cent Wednesday. The French government indignantly denied the credit-rating rumour yesterday, apparently reassuring the markets although economic indicators are still poor with unemployment rising again in May and June to 9.7 per cent. Société Générale’s shares were briefly suspended after losing 22.5 per cent at one point Wednesday and finishing the day 14.74 down. France’s second-largest bank, after BNP, was almost driven out of business thanks to rumours that it was on the brink of collapse. On Thursday evening, after Société Générale boss Frédéric Oudéa toured French media denouncing the report as “pure fantasy”, the paper printed an apology stating that it was untrue. French banks, including Société Générale, are heavily exposed to Greek and Italian debt.

The average price per square metre in the capital is now 8150 euros. The cheapest district is the racially and socially mixed 19th arrondissement on the northeastern edge of Paris at 6 350 euros per square metre. The 6th arrondissement, site of the Jardin de Luxembourg, and the shops of St. It costs over 10 000 euros per square metre in nearly all of central Paris (Ist, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th arrondissements.) Experts say that prices will now stabilise after a springtime peak in sales.
eAtlas of Gender is launched Gender equality matters for development The education and health levels of women and girls have improved greatly over the years. But in many parts of the world, women are still dying in childbirth, or not being born at all, at alarming rates. Women continue to lack voice and decision-making ability in the household and in society; and, their economic opportunities remain very constrained. This inequality is manifestly unfair. It is also bad economics: under-investing in girls and women puts a brake on poverty reduction and limits economic and social development. eAtlas of Gender The new World Bank eAtlas of Gender, the latest in a suite of user-friendly, interactive electronic atlases, allows users to map and graph dozens of gender indicators over time and across countries. To access the eAtlas of Gender, go to data.worldbank.org/atlas-gender Little Data Book on Gender This pocket guide has just been released and is a quick reference on gender statistics.
Hundreds of protestors held in anti-Wall Street New York demo Some of those arrested at the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday were released after a few hours, while others could be held for a day or could receive a court summons, police said. Activists belonging to the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement, many of whom have been camped out in Manhattan for two weeks, were detained during their latest and biggest demonstration so far. The movement said it had staked its ground in downtown Manhattan "as a symbolic gesture of our discontent with the current economic and political climate." The anti-Wall Street activists began their campaign by occupying Zuccotti Park, in the heart of Manhattan's financial district, on 17 September and have since held protests outside the New York Stock Exchange and NYPD headquarters. Saturday's protest forced authorities to shut down the Brooklyn Bridge for several hours as police placed protestors in handcuffs while others chanted slogans. According to organizers, around 3,000 people marched outside the bank.

Anti-capitalist Occupy protests continue Sunday Over 950 rallies in at least 80 countries took place on Saturday, the largest being in Lisbon, Madrid and Rome with thousands also turning out in New York and Washington. Violence broke out in the Italian capital, with 70 people injured, three of them seriously, and 12 arrests. In New York 88 people were arrested. Unexpected support came from Italian central bank governor Mario Draghi, a former Goldman Sachs executive who takes over as European Central Bank president next month. "They're angry against the world of finance. Hundreds of protesters have stayed on to camp out in Frankfurt, Amsterdam and London, where they have pledged to stay outside St Paul’s Cathedral, near the City of London financial district, to express their anger at the banks’s role in the current economic crisis.
Police clash with Athens protesters as record turnout on Greek demonstrations Clouds of teargas hung over the centre of the Greek capital after groups of youths had thrown Molotov cocktails at the police and attacked a steel barricade in front of the parliament building and other targets. There were also clashes in Thessalonoki and protests in other cities, including Patras and Herklion. Police, who claimed that 125,000 people turned out on the protests at the start of a two-day general strike, said that participation was the highest in a decade, while unions put the turnout at 200,000 in Athens alone. The government says the legislation is vital to convince the European Union crisis summit on Sunday to release further loans. Former labour minister Louka Katseli is among them and could be expelled from the party’s parliamentary group, which would reduce it to 153 MPs out of 300.
