While Protestant Christians made up only a small percentage of China's overall population during the Republican period, they were heavily represented among the urban elite.

Distributing Disposable Income And The Impact Of Eliminating Food Subsidies In Egypt, Karima Korayem

They, therefore are sufficiently related to comprise a single monograph. The income distribution paper shows that a large proportion of the population falls in the relatively low income brackets. The second paper, a subject of intensive public debate at present, shows how important food subsidy is in keeping down the cost of living of the low-income urban population. For example, it has been found that almost one-third of the urban population devote …
