Description

This Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy volume examines the critical issue of vulnerability in China's transition economy, arguing that the risk of poverty matters as much as poverty itself for understanding social stability. The book traces how major public sector reforms-including fiscal decentralisation from central to local government, reduced state provision of services, and the shift toward user fees for previously free basic services-have reshaped economic security across regions. It explores the dismantling of the rural commune system and market sector experimentation, revealing how these structural changes create winners and losers in China's development path. Essential reading for economists, policymakers, and students studying China's economic transformation and the social costs of reform.

Key Features

Focuses on vulnerability as a source of social tension in China's transition economy, not just poverty levels.

Analyses how fiscal decentralisation from central to local government restructures economic responsibility.

Examines the reduction in state-provided public services and the rise of user fees for basic services.

Explores de-collectivisation of the rural commune system and its impact on rural households.

Part of Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy series, providing scholarly depth on economic policy.
