Chapter 5 in Lewisian Turning Point in the Chinese Economy, 2014, pp 76-100 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The shortage of migrant workers in coastal urban areas in 2004, which was called mingong huang, caused a debate among economists as to whether or not the Chinese economy had passed the Lewisian turning point (TP).1 China’s passing TP would be the fourth event in East Asia following Japan in around 1960, Taiwan at the end of the 1960s, and Korea at the beginning of the 1970s (Chapter 11).
