- Description
- As the most populous country in the world, the Chinese labour market has several distinctive characteristics that other countries do not share. One of these characteristics is the rapid expansion in employment in non-state owned enterprises (NSEs) which emerged in the early 1980s. In spite of the remarkable success of the NSEs, questions are raised as to how and to what extent the development of NSEs has eroded the dominance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), particularly with regard to industrial production, employment and international trade. Also, questions regarding how the reforms in China’s labour market have affected the world economy, particularly in the labour intensive industries, remain unsolved. This paper attempts to answer these questions and generate policy implications for the rest of the world.
