Routledge Unemployment in China - Economy and Labour Markets

Unemployment in China provides a new and invaluable look into the Chinese economy. This book analyzes the new directions the world's next superpower is taking by examining how unemployment acts as a key issue for the nation. Through a collection of research and evidence from leading scholars, the text explains the connection between market-oriented economic reform and industrial restructuring. As China moves toward greater efficiency, these shifts have also reduced overstaffing and led to a large increase in unemployment.

It is an essential resource for anyone studying the economic transitions and the restructuring processes predicted to continue in the Chinese market.
