East Asia is at the heart of the global economic transformation,
and the countries of the region are witnessing rapidly changing
labour markets, alongside the pressure to cut production costs and
lower taxes in order to become successful 'competition states'.
These changes have resulted in increased welfare demands which
governments, organizations and agencies across the region have had
to address. This book examines welfare regimes in the Greater China
region, encompassing mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
In so doing, it explores the ways in which the rapid growth and
internationalisation of the economy across Greater China is
presenting new social policy challenges that governments, social
welfare organizations and agencies in the region are having to
respond to. Rather than simply describing and categorising welfare
systems, the contributors to this volume add to our understanding
of how one of the major economic transformations of the
contemporary era in East Asia is shaping welfare provision in the
region. In turn, in this context of economic change, they examine
the new strategies and measures that have been adopted in order to
reduce the heavy burden on the state in terms of welfare provision,
whilst also attempting to diversify funding and provision sources
to meet the pressing welfare needs. Based upon extensive fieldwork
by leading scholars of social policy, this book will appeal to
students and scholars of Asian social policy, comparative
development and social policy, social welfare and Chinese studies.
