Research : Youth Chances and China’s Urban/Rural Divide
LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY, INVESTMENT IN HUMAN CAPITAL AND YOUTH EMPLOYMENT: COMPARATIVE DEVELOPMENTS AND GLOBAL RESPONSES, p. 97-108, Kluwer Law International BV, 2010 - This chapter provides an overview of employment prospects for young people under China's "socialist market economy." It argues that China is relatively well-positioned to deal with the present economic crisis due to excellent economic indicators prior to the recession. China presents an admixture of characteristics usually associated with the developed world alongside features more typical of the developing world: for example, high levels of graduate unemployment exist alongside child labor. Traditional labor law models are therefore inadequate to describe the situation in China today.
