abstract: 'Over the past few decades of economic reform, China''s labor markets have
|
||||
|
||||
been transformed to an increasingly market-driven system. China has two
|
||||
|
||||
segregated economies: the rural and urban. Understanding the shifting
|
||||
|
||||
nature of this divide is probably the key to understanding the most
|
||||
|
||||
important labor market reform issues of the last decades and the decades
|
||||
|
||||
ahead. From 1949, the Chinese economy allowed virtually no labor
|
||||
|
||||
mobility between the rural and urban sectors. Rural-urban segregation
|
||||
|
||||
was enforced by a household registration system called ``hukou.{''''}
|
||||
|
||||
Individuals born in rural areas receive ``agriculture hukou{''''} while
|
||||
|
||||
those born in cities are designated as ``nonagricultural hukou.{''''} In
|
||||
|
||||
the countryside, employment and income were linked to the commune-based
|
||||
|
||||
production system. Collectively owned communes provided very basic
|
||||
|
||||
coverage for health, education, and pensions. In cities, state-assigned
|
||||
|
||||
life-time employment, centrally determined wages, and a cradle-to-grave
|
||||
|
||||
social welfare system were implemented. In the late 1970s, China''s
|
||||
|
||||
economic reforms began, but the timing and pattern of the changes were
|
||||
|
||||
quite different across rural and urban labor markets. This paper focuses
|
||||
|
||||
on employment and wages in the urban labor markets, the interaction
|
||||
|
||||
between the urban and rural labor markets through migration, and future
|
||||
|
||||
labor market challenges. Despite the remarkable changes that have
|
||||
|
||||
occurred, inherited institutional impediments still play an important
|
||||
|
||||
role in the allocation of labor; the hukou system remains in place, and
|
||||
|
||||
72 percent of China''s population is still identified as rural hukou
|
||||
|
||||
holders. China must continue to ease its restrictions on rurala is an
|
||||
|
||||
element of urban migration, and must adopt policies to close the
|
||||
|
||||
widening rural-urban gap in education, or it risks suffering both a
|
||||
|
||||
shortage of workers in the growing urban areas and a deepening
|
||||
|
||||
urban-rural economic divide.'
