Sichuan recovering from the disaster:
One year of restoration and rebuilding
Breakfast seminar at Fafo December 3rd 2009 08.30-09.45,
Borggata 2B Oslo
One year after the devastating earthquake in Sichuan in May 2008,
the
vast majority
of those who lost their
houses have a new dwelling.
New health reforms have been implemented after the earthquake,
giving
better
health coverage to people. But unemployment and
corruption are
still major challenges in the area.
This are some of the results from two large scale surveys conducted by
Fafo, together with Chinese partners. At this breakfast seminar we
present
the results from the work conducted in Sichuan in 2008 and 2009.
