Inter-temporal Changes in Ethnic Urban Earnings Disparities in China

📖 The Scoop

The opening of the Chinese economy in 1978 by Deng Xiaoping ushered in an era of significant economic growth (Chow 1993). During the following thirty years, gross domestic production expanded, the manufacturing sector grew, and exports to the outside world skyrocketed. Much of this dramatic growth has been attributed to capital accumulation and productivity increases (Chow and Li 2002). Yet the period also represented a significant shift in national policies toward growth tempered by attention to social equity (Friedman 2006). This shift under the Hu Jintao-Wen Jiabao leadership is commonly referred to as promotion of a harmonious society.
