Description

Explore the complex reality of the global economy's leading growth engine. While China is often viewed through the lens of low-wage sweatshops, Working in China provides a much deeper look into the lived experiences of its massive workforce. This volume moves beyond common stereotypes to examine the actual lives of those driving China's market reform. Through various ethnographies, this book covers a wide range of occupations and work settings. Readers gain insight into the daily lives of professional employees, including engineers and lawyers, as well as service workers. It offers a necessary perspective on how labor functions within a society that accounts for nearly twenty-nine percent of the world's total labor pool. This is an essential resource for those studying the transformation of the Asian economy and the changing nature of modern work.
