This book analyses the behaviour of ethnic minority groups in China
using the first comprehensive national dataset dedicated to
capturing the socio-economic profile of ethnic minorities: the
China Household Ethnicity Survey (CHES). Managing ethnic diversity
in China has become an increasingly important subject, especially
against the backdrop of the nation's rampant economic growth and
changing institutional behaviour. The book has an analytical
interest in looking at the benefactors of China's growth from an
ethnic group dimension, and notably, how the economic life of the
55 ethnic minority groups compares to the Han majority. It's one of
the first publications to capture the heterogeneity of ethnic
minority groups' socio-economic experience, through intersectional
analysis and multi-disciplinary approaches. Contributing factors in
explaining ethnic minorities' experiences in the urban labour
market are also considered: from how linguistic capital and
migration patterns vary for ethnic minorities, to the effects of
pro-rural policies. Underpinning these are questions about the
extent to which happiness and discrimination impact the economic
life of ethnic minorities. Ethnicity and Inequality in China will
prove an invaluable resource for students and scholars of
economics, sociology and contemporary Chinese Studies more broadly.

This volume examines trends in inequality in the People's Republic
of China. It contains findings on inequality nationwide, as well as
within the rural and urban sectors, with an emphasis on public
policy considerations. Several chapters focus on inequality of
income; others analyse poverty, inequality in wealth, and the
distribution of wages. Attention is given to groups such as
migrants, women, and the elderly, as well as the relationship
between income and health care funding and the impact of the rural
tax reform. All contributors to this volume make use of a large,
nationwide survey of Chinese households, the product of long-term
co-operation between Chinese and international researchers that is
unique in its scope and duration. Using these data, the
contributors examine changes in inequality from 1988 to 2002.
