{"product_id":"unemployment-inequality-and-poverty-in-hiroshi-sato-9780415338721","title":"Unemployment, Inequality and Poverty in Urban China","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Chinese economy is growing at a very high rate, there are massive social dislocations arising as a result of economic restructuring. Though the scale of the problem is huge, very few studies have examined the changes in income inequality in the late 1990s due to a lack of data on household incomes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on extensive original research, this book redresses this imbalance, examining the issue of unemployment and the problems it has brought for the people of China. Investigating the market outcomes in post-reform urban China, the book focuses on the relationships between unemployment, inequality, and poverty. In addition, the authors provide an analysis on the emerging urban labour market and its stratified structure, job mobility, profit sharing, and the role of social capital. Empirical analysis is supported by rich data from nationally representative urban household and rural migrant surveys, providing the latest picture of the widening inequality in Chinese urban society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hiroshi Sato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415338727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415338721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.32w x 0.98d","brand":"Hiroshi Sato","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064898859263,"sku":"9780415338721","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68cd6687-8843-4953-aa7c-62649febb0f5.jpg?v=1768671781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unemployment-inequality-and-poverty-in-hiroshi-sato-9780415338721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
