Economic growth and its relevant subjects have been given the first
priority in the research agenda since China initiated economic
reforms in 1978, while the topics of social protection and gender
equality have been largely left at the periphery for a long period.
This book is a collection of evidence-based studies conducted
mainly in poor areas of rural China during the recent two decades.
Based on individual interviews and sample data analyses, this book
emphasizes the importance of cooperative organizations to poverty
reduction, and puts forward that gender equality is closely related
with sustainable development. In addition, it addresses the issues
of food security and elimination of social exclusion - the key to
bridging economic divide. It also studies social protection,
including basic health protection system, nutrition and healthcare
for children, old age security for landless farmers and rural
migrant workers. By providing first-hand accounts of different
vulnerable groups, such as the poor, women, migrant workers, ethnic
minorities and small farmers, this book offers valuable insights
into studies of contemporary Chinese society and economy.
