This Handbook is a timely compilation dedicated to exploring a rare
diversity of perspectives and content on the development,
successes, reforms and challenges within China's contemporary
welfare system. It showcases an extensive introduction and 20
original chapters by leading and emerging area specialists who
explore a century of welfare provision from the Nationalist era, up
to and concentrating on economic reform and marketisation (1978 to
the present). Organised around five key concerns (social security
and welfare; emerging issues and actors, including gender issues,
NGOs, and philanthropy; gaps; and future challenges, such as
population ageing and environmental pressures) chapters draw on
original case-based research from diverse disciplines and
perspectives, engage existing literature and further key debates.
Key historical insights into welfare provision in the Chinese
context serve as a starting point with the remaining chapters
combining a review of the literature with original case studies.
The book offers novel empirical research and includes topics often
not discussed in the literature on welfare in China, including:
mental health, highly educated rural-to-urban migrants, NGOs as
welfare providers, China's overseas welfare aid, environmental
challenges and welfare, amongst others. This comprehensive and
multidisciplinary Handbook will be of immense value to researchers
and scholars in the fields of China Studies, social policy, the
welfare state, politics and related areas. Accessible to a
non-specialist audience interested in China's welfare development
and welfare states more broadly, it will also serve as a useful
resource for undergraduates. Contributors Include: E. Baum, M.
