About this book

Three decades of reform have brought large gains to millions in China, but they have also caused social dislocation. Some groups that did well under socialism have found themselves losers in the new order.

William Hurst's study follows one such group: some 35 million workers who were let go from state enterprises. It is based on field research carried out in nine cities across China, and it explains why the lay-offs happened and how the workers have since fared.

Scholars of contemporary China, labour economists and policy readers who want a grounded account of reform's human cost will find the book valuable.
