Towards a Labour Market in China: Studies on Contemporary China

Autor John Knight, Lina Song
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 noi 2006
China's remarkable economic transition and capacity for dynamic growth has stunned the world. Throughout the period of economic reform, China has been moving towards the creation of a labour market. The scale of this transformation is unprecedented. New economic incentives, vast labour migration, draconian retrenchment of state workers, and sharply rising wage inequality are all characteristic of this unique transition.Drawing on more than a decade of survey-based research, the authors systematically document and analyse this important transformation. They use economic and sociological theory, institutional analysis and political economy to fully explain the causes, pressures, obstacles and consequences of the move towards a labour market in China. It is argued that much progress has been made towards the creation of a labour market but that the process is far from complete.

Recenzii

'Based on an extensive and original survey work, this book constitutes an enlightening and comprehensive description of the evolution and the current state of the Chinese labour market, in urban as well as rural areas, on the side of individuals, households and firms...This book is of primary importance in the light of China's current growth and of the international concern about its impact on the world's economy, and because of the number of people involved.'
"...the overall features of the gradual transition of the Chinese labour market are excellently documented in this book..."
"In Towards a Labour Market in China, John Knight and Lina Song organise more than a decade of their research into a well-built theoretical structure to show an orbicular picture of China's labour market evolution...Having drawn an overall picture of China's labour market formation, not only have the authors thoroughly and accurately reviewed the reforms of the urban labour system and employment policies, but they have also analysed the extent of and limitations to that evolution empirically.
