China’s Labour Market: Evolution and Impediments

Chapter 11 in China and the World Economy, 2010, pp 226-242 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the period prior to urban economic reform, China had no labour market. Instead, from the 1950s to 1980s, it had a system of wage administration and labour allocation. This system gave the state — essentially the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) — great powers to pursue its various objectives, including the relentless pursuit of urban industrialization, egalitarianism and party control.
