An Economic Analysis of the Effect of Networks on Jobs and Mental Health in China: Patterns, Consequences and Policy Implications

中国是澳大利亚的优先邻居，其增长和稳定将对澳大利亚产生很大影响。城市化和经济改革改变了维持和形成社会关系的动机。研究这些变化，帮助政策制定者将影响控制在可接受的范围内，是中国政府的当务之急，完全符合澳大利亚的自身利益。因此，该项目成为政策制定者和研究人员之间的桥梁：它是在与澳大利亚国际开发署、中国劳动部以及福特基金会和德国劳工研究所(IZA)等国际科学组织磋商后完成的。

China is a priority neighbour whose growth and stability will have a large impact on Australia. Urbanisation and economic reforms change the incentives to maintain and form social relations. Researching these changes to help policy makers keep the effects within acceptable borders is a top priority of the Chinese government and entirely in Australia's own interest. The project thus serves as a bridge between policymakers and researchers: it is done in consultation with AusAID, the Chinese ministry for labour, and international scientific organisations such as the Ford Foundation and the German Institute of Labour (IZA)
