The Economic Reform and the Formation of the Social Safety Network in Contemporary China

随着中国从计划经济向市场经济的转变，为国有企业员工提供终身就业和各种福利保障的城市单卫制度被破坏，劳动力市场出现。中国政府已经从计划和控制经济中退出，取而代之的是建立一个新的社会保障网络来取代单维制度。本研究项目研究了这一网络的特点和存在的问题，重点研究了新兴的三大社会制度，即劳动力市场制度、现代财政制度和社会保障制度。

With the Chinese transformation from the planned economy to the market economy the urban DANWEI system, which provided the employees of state-owned enterprises not only with a life-time employment but also with various kind of welfare and security has been destroyed and the labor market has been emerging. The Chinese Government has been retreating from planning and controlling the economy and, instead, launching on building up of a new social safety network in place of DANWEI system. This research project studied the features and problems of this network, with a special focus on the emerging three social systems, that is, the labor market system, the modern fiscal system and the social security systems.
