Chinese Families' economic condition
Here is a template to upload driving forces.
Description:
As China's economy kept growing at the rate of 7 or 8 percentage a year, people got richer and richer. Meanwhile, the commodity and food price did not go up sharply when compared with the rise of income. That is to say that people now get more money to spend on some items other than everyday spending than a few years before. So it significantly stimulates people's consumption on Internet.
Enablers:
- Increasing income of families
- Relatively stable commodity price
- More and more spare money for items other than spending on everyday life
Inhibitors:
- Most people from last generation, say parents in a family born in 1950s, are not willing to spend money on Internet.
Paradigms:
- ADSL: wide band Internet access for family use
- ISDN: advanced dialing method for family users to get access to Internet
