The proportion of direct economic losses to GDP continues to decline
Although the direct economic losses increased constantly, the proportion to the GDP continues to reduce because of the highly developed economy after the reform and opening-up policy. Just as the table 1-9, the proportion was usually over 10% in 1950 s and 1960 s, such as 32% in 1954 and 43% in 1963; it was between 3% and 7% in 1970 s and 1980 s; it was about 2% in 1990 s and decreased to 1% in 2010 s. This trend of constant reduction formed another “scissors” with the constantly increasing trend of direct economic losses.
The death and missing people formed a “scissors” with the changing trend of direct economic losses
The death and missing people because of the disasters decreased from ten thousand in 1950 s to 3000 now, but the direct losses increased from 150 billion to 228 billion.
