18- Find the 6 errors in the following text CHINA’S LOW WAGES Wages in China were low and remained low for a long period after market reforms began. One reason was the rapid increase in the working age population. Another reason was the Migrant Workers, people from rural areas that live in cities as second class citizens and work for low wages. They are moved to cities and ordered to work for low wages by the government. They form about 25 % of China’s nonagricultural work force. Since late 90’s real wages in China are increasing very fast. Today the wages in some parts of China are higher than in Turkey. One reason is changing population dynamics. The growth of China’s population has slowed down and population is expected to begin declining by the end of this century. China’s working age population is expected to begin declining around 2030. One reason is the One Child Policy initiated in the Mao era. To counter these changes the government has abolished One Child Policy and now allow couples to have as many children as they want. Government is also trying to encourage rural people employed in agriculture to move to cities and join the industrial work force. The percentage of the work force working in agriculture in China is higher than other countries at the same income levels, including Turkey. That is largely because agricultural production in China is done in very large scale in government farms called communes that are inefficient.
