Employment and income distribution in rural China: Household responses to market transition. - 277 p.

Adviser: Dwight Perkins.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 1996.

This dissertation analyses the determinants of access to employment and the returns to labor among rural households in north China. In doing so, it addresses the general question of who are the winners and losers in the process of economic transition. As labor is a critical productive resource of low-income rural households, understanding which households are able to move their labor into more productive activities, and thus increase their incomes, will provide insights into the changing patterns of income inequality observed in rural China.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation analyses the determinants of access to employment and the returns to labor among rural households in north China. In doing so, it addresses the general question of who are the winners and losers in the process of economic transition. As labor is a critical productive resource of low-income rural households, understanding which households are able to move their labor into more productive activities, and thus increase their incomes, will provide insights into the changing patterns of income inequality observed in rural China.
520 $a The study uses a rich, panel data set from one county in Shandong Province during a period of rapid economic growth. I first analyse patterns of income inequality, and the relationship between income and different types of employment. Determinants of labor productivity in household production, access to off-farm employment, and variation in individual wages are then investigated.
520 $a Several important debates over China's current transition path are explored throughout the dissertation. These include the extent to which China's rural labor market operates competitively; the role of institutional and political factors in the allocation of economic resources, including employment; the returns to education, and the importance of locational factors in determining household employment and income.
520 $a While market forces play an increasingly important role in the rural labor market, and more generally in the allocation of resources in China's partially-reformed economy, political connections continue to provide important privileges, particularly through access to enterprise employment. Locational factors remain a key determinant of household employment and incomes, even within a relatively small geographic region, with the poorest households concentrated in the more isolated, land poor villages. This result suggests, first, that relaxing restrictions on labor mobility would loosen some of the constraints facing such households, and second, that poverty alleviation measures targeted towards villages or geographic areas, rather than towards households or individuals, would effectively reach many of the poorest members of the population.
