This book, a sequel to Inequality and Public Policy in China
(2008), examines the evolution of inequality in China from 2002 to
2007, a period when the new 'harmonious society' development
strategy was adopted under Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao. It fills a gap
in knowledge about the outcomes of this development strategy for
equity and inequality. Drawing on original information collected
from the recent two waves of nationwide household surveys conducted
by the China Household Income Project, this book provides a
detailed overview of recent trends in income inequality and
cutting-edge analysis of key factors underlying such trends. Topics
covered include inequality in education, changes in homeownership
and the distribution of housing wealth, the evolution of the
migrant labor market, disparities between public and non-public
sectors, patterns of work and non-work, gender, ethnicity, and the
impacts of public policies such as reforms in taxation and social
welfare programs.
