But many of these students will never apply the skills they learned in Chinese classrooms in a Chinese workplace. Tebogo Lefifl, Executive Chairperson of Young African Professionals and Students (YAPS), maintains the YAPS network of over 1,500 young Africans living and studying in China, but says that the majority of these young people will not pursue careers in China,展开更多

Materials and Methods: We have conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study based on an anonymous questionnaire. Results: A total of 406/672 questionnaires were returned, with a female/male sex ratio of 1.07. The duration of the training (OR: 3.3;CI 95%: 1.74 - 6.23;p < 0.001), intellectual challenge (OR: 3.02;CI 95%: 1.69 - 5.37;p < 0.001), doctor-patient relationship (OR: 2.22;CI 95%: 1.02 - 4.84;p: 0.04), and financial aspects (OR: 2.14;CI 95%: 1.09 - 4.21;p: 0.02) were independent factors that influenced the choice of anesthesiology. Conclusion: we recommend the succeeding: 1) Support students in their choice;2) Correct misconceptions about certain specialties;3) Promote clinical clerkship;4) Encourage mentorship;5) Increase the salary of at-risk specialties.展开更多

They have been widely reported by Chinese and International media. Lancet recently published a couple of articles, entitled "Ending violence against doctors in China"1 in May 2012 and "Appeal from Chinese doctors to end violence"2 in November 2013. In early 2014 the BBC produced two reports about violence against physicians in China, and the Times Weekly raised the question "Why China's Doctors Are Getting Beat Up?", illustrating that engaging in frontline medical care in China is becoming a nightmare and disclosed the increasing harsh medical environment in China.3展开更多

Causes vary from country to country. In China, the causes of this shortage are complicated. Due to increasing violence in recent years against medical staff that endangers the personal safety of medical practitioners, the number of Chinese medical school applicants has decreased greatly. Furthermore, the proportion of students who abandon the health sector is very high.展开更多

Individuals differ in their productivities in the manufacturing sector and choose to become entrepreneurs or workers. The model is surprisingly tractable. In the steady state, an increase in the entry barrier in the manufacturing sector or an increase in the percentage of income spent on the agricultural good decreases the wage rate, but the level of output in the manufacturing sector does not necessarily decrease. An increase in the degree of patience of an individual increases the steady state wage rate and the capital stock. Even with increasing returns in manufacturing and constant returns in agriculture, neither the wage rate nor the output level in the manufacturing sector may increase with population size.展开更多
