China’s subnational policies and the performance of provinces towards meeting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals

China has recorded impressive economic achievements driving the structural transformation of its society. However, this transformation is marked by rising inequality, environmental pollution and stark provincial disparities. In 2015, the launching of the Agenda 2030 provided a common ground at the international level conceptualizing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper analyses the provincial performances towards the Agenda 2030 in the period 2015–19 by introdu...

Towards a ‘harmonious society’? Multidimensional development and the convergence of Chinese provinces

The paper analyses multidimensional patterns of development across Chinese provinces over the last two decades (1993–2016) from a balanced or ‘harmonious society’ perspective. The harmonious multidimensional index and other indexes are introduced to explore different development patterns among Chinese provinces. In order to analyse multidimensional convergence amongst the provinces, β- and σ-convergence methods are applied. The results indicate that recent efforts to move towards a ‘harmoniou...

Is the slowdown of China's economic growth affecting multidimensional well-being dynamics?

After many years of outstanding GDP growth and structural changes, China is now facing an economic slowdown. This paper aims to analyse the effects of this slowdown on individual well-being, from a multidimensional and provincial perspective. The empirical analysis is based on data obtained from the China Health and Nutrition Survey, for the 2011 and 2015 waves. The notions of moderate prosperity, harmony and balanced growth pursued by the Chinese Government are used to select nine dimensions...

To eat and not to heat? Energy poverty and income inequality in Italian regions

Energy poverty is broadly associated with the more general concept of income poverty. However, this phenomenon is more rarely linked to socio-economic inequalities. Recent works in the related literature are pursuing this line of research to explore if energy poverty is associated with a social vulnerability status with roots in structural inequities (Simcock et al. 2018). These factors are unevenly distributed in space and therefore, determine a geographical variability of energy poverty. Fo...

Are they Twins or Only Friends? The Redundancy and Complementarity of Energy Poverty Indicators in Italy

A large body of literature has developed numerous unidimensional and multidimensional indicators to identify energy-poor households, also with the aim of targeting public policies. They all have pros and cons and may identify different populations. How do they relate to each other? How should they be used in a country such as Italy where energy poverty has not yet been officially defined? We frame these research questions in a context of general social vulnerability in which several dimension...
