Yet despite these dramatic increases in production the concentration on heavy industry and rapid industrialisation caused shortages of goods and housing in the towns Nonetheless most contemporary analysts Communist and non Communist judged the results of the Five Year Plan as broadly successful KEY CONCEPTS ACTIVITY Significance Carry out some additional research on the CCP s industrial reforms and then write a couple of paragraphs to show how important financial and technical assistance from the Soviet Union was in the early successes of China s First Five Year Plan Impact on industrial workers However for China s industrial workers the rapid industrialisation meant increasing subjection to strict codes of labour discipline It also led to greater wage and status differentials and thus inequalities based on skills and outputs Before 1952 trade unions had been relatively independent but by 1955 had largely become state instruments geared to increasing workers productivity In addition the rapid industrialisation required many more administrators managers and technical experts As has been seen this led to concerns about an emerging non revolutionary bureaucracy There was also growing inequality between urban and rural areas This latter problem was something Mao decided to address from 1956 onwards and eventually led to the Great Leap Forward see Chapter 3 The First Five Year Plan and agriculture Initially CCP leaders believed that the move to full collectivisation i e full social ownership and the abolition of private land ownership would not be for several years Mao himself at first believed that for this to happen industrial development via three Five Year Plans would be needed Those Party members who at the time urged much more rapid progress were criticised for advocating utopian agrarian socialism i e cocialist just by transforming

As regards living standards attempts were made to improve housing conditions in towns and real wages and consumption in urban areas increased However the rural economy was largely stagnant during the 1950s in large part because of the transfer of funds from agriculture to finance industrialisation and thus there were no significant improvements in most rural areas Despite this inequality between urban and rural areas as regards living standards and the fact that China in 1949 had had extremely limited financial resources to spend on providing anything more than basic health services life expectancy nonetheless increased from 36 years in 1949 to 57 by the mid 1950s 1949

In fact the national bourgeoisie were assisted by the new government by 1953 the number of privately owned industries had increased from 123 000 to 150 000 while the number of workers in private firms rose from 1 6 million to 2 2 million In all this private sector accounted for almost 40 per cent of China s industrial output The government even used nationalist pleas to encourage some of those who had fled in 1949 to return to aid economic reconstruction and help develop and modernise China s economy The Communists concentrated on dealing with unemployment by placing large state contracts with private firms and improving workers pay and rights by insisting that firms paid a minimum wage and paid holidays to workers In addition the government controlled access to raw materials However private firms still operated as capitalist ventures receiving profits though these were controlled that gave were big enough to give these national capitalists a very comfortable life style The transition to socialism 1953 55 As a result of the Treaty of Friendship Alliance and Mutual Assistance signed between the Soviet Union and China in January 1950 China was to receive financial and technical assistance from the USSR for the next 15 years Further agreements were made in 1953 1954 and 1956 Although the financial assistance mainly consisted of short term credits rather than loans over 10000 Soviet engineers were sent to China all this helped create 300 modern industrial plants By 1952 the leaders of the CCP felt they had achieved sufficient economic recovery to move on to their promised ten years of development In November 1952 acting on Soviet advice Mao set up a State Planning Commission headed by Gao Gang to design a Five Year Plan to expand and modernise China s economy in both agriculture and industry Initially however China s involvement in the Korean War until 1953 see Chapter 5 meant there was little surplus funding for this project When the Plan was first announced in late 1952 total industrial and agricultural production despite the revival of China s war wrecked economy was still only at mid 1930s levels while modern transportation systems were still largely lacking Nonetheless in January democratic nhase of the 1952

Hardy Wienberg Model aims to test whether or not evolution is happening in a population with respect to a particular gene What are the conditions of H W model that evolution is not occurring mark all that apply There is no migration in or out of the population no gene flow the population is very large or infinitely large All mating must be random and all members of the population have the same amount of offspring There are no mutations occurring There are no environments to influence phenotypes no norm of reaction the phenotype is homozygous recessive

For a mutation to be passed on to offspring the mutation must occur O in the gametes in the proteins O during mitosis O during crossover
