Product description:
Over the last two decades China’s extraordinary rate of economic growth has been driven by the 120–150 million people who have flocked into China’s cities from the surrounding countryside in search of a better life. Globalisation and labour mobility in China examines the manner in which these people live, work, and interact with their urban cousins. A particular feature of the book is its comparative focus, with interesting parallels drawn between China’s experience with mass internal migration and labour market restructuring and the experiences of India, Mexico and France. Some of the world’s foremost China scholars have collaborated to produce this volume, including Cai Fang from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Dorothy Solinger from UC-Irvine and Ken Roberts from Southwestern University.
