China has implemented monetary easing amid the global economic slowdown since the Lehman Brothers failure, and this has boosted real estate and other asset prices.

China’s situation at present resembles Japan’s situation in the late 1980s, when authorities, reacting to the export slump caused by the upward revaluation of the yen after the 1985 Plaza Accord, adopted a low interest rate policy in order to spur an expansion in domestic demand – and thereby created the conditions that led to an economic bubble.

If health care cost increases slow down, then businesses will find it more profitable to expand employment, and workers will more readily move into those new jobs.
