Description
Chinese Workers in Comparative Perspective examines the complex world of Chinese labor by comparing it to other industrial relations systems around the globe. By analyzing China's workforce and labor relations side by side with those in countries such as the US, Australia, Japan, India, Pakistan, Germany, Russia, Vietnam, and Taiwan, this book sheds new light on the challenges faced by workers in different contexts.
The contributors to this volume explore various aspects of Chinese labor, including labor regimes and standards, efforts to reshape industrial relations, and historical developments in China's labor landscape. By drawing parallels with other countries' experiences, they reveal valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of China's labor system.
