| Summary |
As China emerges as the economic superpower of the coming decade, how it manages its huge labour force is of great importance. This book analyses the management of human resources in Chinese industry, covering the period from 1949 to the present, particularly focusing on the period of economic reforms of the 1980s and early 1990s. Chinese workers have enjoyed job security under the 'iron rice-bowl' employment system for four decades. This arrangement is now under threat from recent labour reforms and the emergence of a nascent labour market. The study looks in detail at these developments in the North-Eastern cities, China's industrial heartland |
