But the European merchants introduced it to the global world and brought tremendous changes to its taste and flavour. Though the Asian leaf was quite unknown to England till the 17th century but within 200 years of its introduction, the Britishers not only adopted the so-called herbal drink but it became the national drink of England. Tea became one of the most debatable culinary practices in the Pre modern European society for its nutritional aspects. However, till 19th century, only the Chinese variety of tea was known to the tea drinking world and the Chinse traders and farmers began to sell inferior quality of tea products to the European traders. Thus, the tea adulteration issue not only changed the marketing strategy of the Europeans but also changed the political economy of many Asian colonies including India. So far most of the existing tea literature mostly deals with the botanical aspects and its agricultural growth. So, in this paper an attempt has been made to understand the transition of tea from merely a medicinal drink to the fashionable drink. It also highlights the nutritional factors and psychological propaganda related to tea that influenced the English society throughout the 18th and 19th century. It tries to understand the changing nature of the business of European traders with China. It also tries to highlight how adulteration propaganda against the Chinese tea products helped in the emergence of tea markets in the British colonies.","PeriodicalId":162127,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Asia (Topic)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115679357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the impact of the COVID - 19 on the financial markets has never been researched. The present study is undertaken to investigate the impact of the COVID - 19 on the Financial Markets from the period dated 1st March 2020 to 25th March 2020 in China and the USA. The study applied a Simple regression model to investigate the impact of the COVID - 19 on the Financial Markets during the period from dated 1st March 2020 to 25th March 2020 in China and the USA. Time series data from China COVID - 19 Statistics Reports and Trading Economics from 1st March 2020 to 25th March 2020 for China and the USA were employed by the study. The study used the Shanghai Stock Exchange as a sample for China and the New York Dow Jones as a sample for the USA. In the process of investigating the impact of the COVID - 19 on the financial markets the study assumes the COVID - 19 Confirmed cases to be the independent variable while Shanghai Stock Exchange and New York Dow Jones to be dependent variables of the study in China and USA. The study findings were in actual fact very interesting. The study findings revealed that there is a positive significant relationship between the COVID - 19 confirmed cases and all the financial markets (Shanghai stock exchange and New York Dow Jones) from 1st March 2020 to 25th March 2020 in China and the USA. That means the COVID - 19 had a significant impact on the financial markets from 1st March 2020 to 25th March 2020 in China and the USA.","PeriodicalId":162127,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Asia (Topic)","volume":"72 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123155528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, extant literature on networks uses the concept in a narrow manner, and tends to mostly focus on formal networks. Informal networks have not received adequate attention. In this paper I argue that it is equally important to focus on informal networks, in addition to the formal networks, in public administration and management. Based on a comparative case study of diabetes care in Australia and India, this paper develops a typology of diabetes network in these two countries with the type of network (that is, formal and informal networks) on one side of the matrix and the type of health professional (that is, professional and non-professional) on the other side. Mapping the prevailing diabetes care of the two countries onto the matrix reveals that diabetes care in Australia relies mostly in the formal network quadrants, that is, health professionals and voluntary and community groups. And diabetes care in India relies on the informal network quadrants, that is, non-health professionals and personal communities. While the paper discusses some of the reasons why each of these countries rely on a particular type of network for diabetes care, the main finding of the paper is that infusing aspects of the formal and informal networks results in improved health outcomes for people with diabetes as well as reducing the increasing costs of diabetes care. The field of public administration and management can certainly draw on the experiences of diabetes care by using both formal and informal networks to improve outcomes as well as to minimize expenses.","PeriodicalId":162127,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Asia (Topic)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122441723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using newly available microdata from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, this study investigates the effect of informal caregiving on labor market outcomes in South Korea. By doing so, this study provides evidence to inform elderly long-term care policy in South Korea, and also fills a gap in the international literature by providing results from an Asian country. Empirical analyses address various methodological issues by investigating gender differences, by examining both extensive and intensive labor market adjustments with two definitions of labor force participation, by employing different functional forms of care intensity, and by accounting for the potential endogeneity of informal care as well as intergenerational co-residence. Robust findings suggest negative effects of informal caregiving on labor market outcomes among women, but not among men. Compared with otherwise similar non-caregivers, female intensive caregivers who provide at least more than 10 hours of care per week are at an increased risk of being out of the labor force by 15.2 percentage points. When examining the probability of employment in the formal sector only, the effect magnitude is smaller. Among employed women, more intensive caregivers receive lower hourly wages by 1.65K Korean Won than otherwise similar non-caregivers. Informal care is already an important economic issue in South Korea even though aging is still at an early stage.","PeriodicalId":162127,"journal":{"name":"HEN: Asia (Topic)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123249551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
