Description
After a quarter-century of market reform, China has become the world's workshop and a leading growth engine of the global economy. Its immense labour force accounts for approximately 29 per cent of the world's total labour pool, yet genuine understanding of Chinese labour extends far beyond stereotypes of sweatshop conditions and low wages. Working in China introduces the lived experiences of labour across a wide range of occupations and work settings, moving beyond surface-level assumptions to explore the reality of work in modern China. This Routledge publication, part of the Asia's Transformations series, presents ethnographic research that examines professional employees such as engineers and lawyers alongside service workers, offering readers a nuanced and comprehensive perspective on workplace transformation in contemporary China. The book bridges the gap between academic study and human experience, making it essential reading for those seeking to understand the true nature of Chinese labour markets and working conditions.
