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 book gathers the outcomes of various, extensive research
efforts on building a moderately prosperous society in minority
areas, which would allow China's poor and poverty-stricken areas to
comprehensively join the rest of society. Offering an essential
reference guide, the book will help readers understand the process,
achievements, problems, and future development with regard to
building a moderately prosperous society in the new era.
How has the Chinese economy managed to grow at such a remarkable
rate - no less than ten per cent per annum - for over three
decades? This well-integrated book combines economic theory,
empirical estimation, and institutional analysis to address one of
the most important questions facing contemporary economists. A
common thread that runs throughout the book is the underlying
political economy: why China became a 'developmental state', and
how it has maintained itself as a 'developmental state'. The book
examines the causal processes at work in the evolution of China's
institutions and policies. It estimates cross-country and
cross-province growth equations to shed light on the proximate, and
some of the underlying, determinants of the growth rate. It
explores important consequences of China's growth, posing a series
of key questions, such as: is the economy running out of unskilled
labour; why and how has inequality risen; has economic growth
raised happiness; what are the social costs of the overriding
priority accorded to growth objectives; can China continue to grow
rapidly, or will the maturing economy, or the macroeconomic
imbalances, or financial crisis, or social instability, bring it to
an end? Based mainly on original research, this book will be of
interest to growth economists, development economists, transition
economists, China specialists, policy-makers, and indeed all those
who are intrigued by the Chinese growth phenomenon.
