This comprehensive reference views China's welfare system through a
cultural-historical lens to integrate its complex story into the
global study of welfare. Focusing on the mainland's vast, mainly
rural population and its long and complicated history, it analyzes
rural welfare from the imperial dynasties, to the socialist planned
economy under Mao Zedong, to its recent history in the current
market economy. Findings from government and academics explore
salient topics such as urban/rural inequity, the situation of
migrant workers, change of social security system, the community
development of the countryside, and the relationships of rural
welfare policy with social structure, cultural background, economic
development and political institution. This broad and deep
knowledge gives readers the tools necessary for understanding the
relationship of China's unique and nuanced past to its prominent
status in the evolving global economy. Among the book's topics:
<
Welfare studies in the West and China Welfare practice in the
period of 1840-1949 Creation of the Socialist Welfare System:
socialist reformation and construction The Social Security system
in rural China, 1979-1998 Re-collectivized process in welfare and
economy Welfare's political contexts: rural grass-roots democracy
With its accessible, up-to-date coverage and holistic approach to
its subject, Rural Welfare in China will find a diverse interested
audience, including sociologists, political economists, and social
policymakers.
