ISER Discussion Paper from Institute of Social and Economic Research, The University of Osaka

Abstract: Many claim that Chinese people born after the one-child policy of 1979 are very individualistic or even selfish. This research tested the hypothesis that Chinese workers of the one-child-policy generation have difficulty working in a team, addressing the absence of nation-wide evidence. Using workers' surveys, for the first time, across six major Chinese cities, the results denied the hypothesis, at least in the workplace.
