Description

This Routledge volume examines China's economic rise and the human cost behind its rapid growth, exploring the stark contradiction between double-digit development rates and widespread worker exploitation characterised by long hours, minimal pay and absent welfare provisions. The book analyses how increasing inequality has deepened super-exploitative working conditions across Chinese industries, yet crucially documents how Chinese workers have begun organising resistance movements and fighting back against these systemic abuses. Part of the Rethinking Globalizations series, this work provides essential context for understanding labour dynamics within the global economy and the strategies workers employ to challenge capitalist exploitation in one of the world's largest manufacturing nations.

Key Features

Routledge's critical examination of China's economic development model and its contradictions between growth rates and worker welfare.

Detailed analysis of super-exploitative working conditions including low wages, excessive hours and absent benefits throughout Chinese industries.

Comprehensive documentation of Chinese workers' resistance strategies and organised movements against capitalist exploitation.

Part of the Rethinking Globalizations series, situating Chinese labour dynamics within broader global economic structures.

Explores the relationship between rapid inequality growth and deteriorating working conditions in the world's second-largest economy.
