Urban Poverty in China

Fulong Wu, Chris Webster, Shenijing He and Yuting Liu

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Urban poverty is an emerging problem. This book explores the household and neighbourhood factors that lead to both the generation and continuance of urban poverty in China. It is argued that the urban Chinese are not a homogenous social group, but combine laid-off workers and rural migrants, resulting in stark contrasts between migrant and workers’ neighbourhoods and villages.
