Labour Mobility in Urban China is the focus of this comprehensive account which
introduces readers to the far-reaching changes arising from the transformation
of the Chinese labour market. The volume brings together academic research and
practical experience from China and abroad. The authors discuss challenges such
as mismatches between labour supply and demand, the influx of rural labour
migrants, rising unemployment and the expansion of flexible/informal work,
including gender dimensions. A variety of problem-solving strategies from state
and non-state actors alike are presented. An essential resource for academics,
students and practitioners in the field, this volume analyses the erosion of
the Great Wall between rural and urban China.
