abstract: 'Since 1978 China has been undergoing transition from a socialist to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
capitalist economy and the opening up to international trade and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
investment. This process has been accelerated by WTO membership. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
article presents an overview of the gendered processes and outcomes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with China''s reforms, mainly focusing on the post-1992 period
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
when the pace of reforms accelerated. The imperative for accumulation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and efficiency has resulted not only in impressive growth but also in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the weakening of land rights for women, disproportionate layoffs for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women workers in state enterprises, rising gender disparities in urban
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and rural wage employment, growing income insecurity, declining access
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to healthcare, and the adoption of Western/global commodified beauty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
standards. While jobs are expanding in new sectors and foreign-invested
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enterprises, these jobs are often associated with poor working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions. This volume argues for reprioritizing equity and welfare on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the policy agenda.'
