This book explores the diversity and dynamism of China 's
workplaces and of the wider labour market experiences of its
workforce. Drawing on the authors extensive recent research, it
considers a diverse range of issues and types of workplaces. These
changes include: the continuing spread of market-oriented human
resource management across public and private sector organisations;
greater employment rights for workers; local diversity in
regulatory control alongside the governmental priority of a
harmonious society; persistent shortages of skilled labour
co-existing with vast underemployment amongst the unskilled; uneven
access to education and training across regions; and changes in
union behaviour and influence.
Unlike other studies - which tend to assume changes to
management, work and employment are relatively uniform across
modernising parts of the economy - this book conveys the rich
variety among contemporary China 's local labour markets by looking
at them, and the institutions that influence them, from the
bottom-up. It focuses on other under-explored but emerging
phenomena such as family-owned firms, the role of private services
businesses, and the emergence of employer associations.
