Over the past quarter-century China has seen a dramatic increase in
income inequality, prompting a shift in China's development
strategy and the adoption of an array of new policies to
redistribute income, promote shared growth, and establish a social
safety net. Drawing on of household-level data from the China
Household Income Project, Changing Trends in China's Inequality
provides an independent, comprehensive, and empirically grounded
study of the evolution of incomes and inequality in China over
time. Edited by leading experts on the Chinese economy, the volume
analyzes this evolution in China as a whole as well as in the urban
and rural sectors, with close attention to measurement issues and
to shifts in the economy, institutions, and public policy. Specific
essays provides analyses of China's wealth inequality, the
emergence of a new middle class, the income gap between the Han
majority and the ethnic minorities, the gender wage gap, and the
impacts of government policies such as social welfare programs and
the minimum wage.
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.

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.
