India or China: Which Asian Giant Has More Inclusive Growth
India vs. China
Which of the world’s two billion-person economies is taking better care of its citizens? Click the drop down to compare to see how India and China have performed.
China: 99%
India: 13%
India and China are the world’s fastest-expanding large economies but which has been better at sharing the benefits of that growth with its people?
A new World Economic Forum survey titled “Inclusive Growth and Development Report 2015” released Monday tries to go beyond gross domestic product figures to give a more detailed look at how different economies are doing. It lists and ranks 112 countries using 140 indicators.
By pointing to relative performance on everything from labor productivity and women’s pay to the size of the middle class and health care coverage, the report is attempting to show how inclusive growth is in each country.
The report says most countries still have a long way to go, need to look closely at their relative performances and adjust their policies so that as their economies expand, more of their citizens benefit from that growth.
“Societies that have had particular success in building a robust middle class and reducing poverty and social marginalization have tended to create effective economic institutions and incentives … while supporting growth through sound macroeconomic policies and efficiency-enhancing reforms,” the report said.
The survey uses the basic measure of income and wealth inequality called the Gini index: The higher the number, the more lopsided the income distribution and the larger the gap between the rich and poor. Using that measure, income equality in India and China (after taxes and government transfers) is similar. Both countries come in at just above 50 on the Gini index, which has a zero to 100 scale.
The U.S. and the United Kingdom both have less- pronounced income inequality, with around 35 on the Gini index after taxes and transfer payments, the survey said.
While income distribution and GDP growth indicators in India and China are neck and neck most of the other numbers thrown up by the WEF survey suggest China is doing a much better job of taking care of its population of more than one billion people.
More of China’s populace is getting educated, more Chinese citizens are covered by healthcare and that country has a much larger middle class.
Play with the interactive chart above to see how the two Asian heavyweights performed on these and other indicators.
Of course it makes sense that China would be delivering better services to its people. Its economy is more than four times the size of India’s.
Indeed the WEF report didn’t even rank the two nations in the same peer group. China is an “upper middle income” economy while India is a “lower middle income” economy.

Why nobody is surprised?
India is taking far better care of it's "bones poor" citizen than China. India in order to save the suffering of the very poor just let's them die. The dead are not hungry anymore. Problem sorted. This is the way to become superpower that China needs to learn from India's example.

“These people are poor,” he explained. “They drink. So they have health problems. They get sick. And they die.” Case closed.

Starving in India: A Fight for Life in Bihar

BANWARA, India – In the fall of 2006, Gita Devi was pregnant with her sixth child when her family fell on hard times. A severe drought made it more difficult than ever to find farm work here in India’s northeastern plains.
The family couldn’t afford food. It was unable to get a government ration card to buy grains and rice at steep discounts, even though it clearly was poor enough to qualify.
Eventually, Ms. Devi and her children were going without any food for days at a time. The 42-year-old grew too weak to walk or talk. On Sept. 26, 2006, she delivered a baby girl, Muniya.
Villagers recall Ms. Devi losing weight rapidly and say they couldn’t help because they didn’t have sufficient food either. Her husband, Tulsi Manjhi, recalls laying silently next to her on a khattiya, a cot made of bamboo and coconut fiber. The hours

Terrible although, as a country with level of social development under Sub-Saharan Africa, not surprising.

No one cares about Indian section. Everyone (including Indians) stays in Chinese section as this is the most vibrant section. They want to know about Chinese news but we don't care about their news.

It's good Indians and non-Indians visit the Chinese section. This way they can see how rapidly China is progressing. We should continue to post things that show the amazing progress of China in all areas.
Chinese section is the section everyone wants to visit. People from all nationalities come to the Chinese section to see China's progress. People are generally interested in everything China. As China grows stronger, people will increase their curiosity towards China like they are of the United States.
That Indian member you talk about is an old Indian man. Older Indians are brainwashed to hate China especially after 1962. Let the old man stay.
