Book Synopsis THREE ESSAYS ON PUBLIC POLICIES AND INEQUALITY IN CHINA. by : Zhuo Zhang
Download or read book THREE ESSAYS ON PUBLIC POLICIES AND INEQUALITY IN CHINA. written by Zhuo Zhang. This book was released on 2021. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three essays examining three influential public policies in China and their various outcomes over the last half-century. The first essay examines the quantity-quality trade-off induced by China's family control policy during the 1970s. Using two waves of Chinese census data, I find China's "Later, Longer, Fewer" policy from the 1970s significantly reduced fertility in the country. The second essay measures and examines the earning gaps among local urban workers and migrant workers using the 2002 China Household Income Project (CHIP2002) survey data. Relative to the urban workers, this study finds negative earning differentials and lower education returns among migrant workers. The third essay investigates the impacts of railway expansion in China on the urban-rural income gap over the last three decades. Using provincial panel data through a DID framework shows a positive relationship between railway expansion and improved urban-rural income inequality.

Book Synopsis Three Essays on the Higher Education Expansion in China by : Qiao Wen
Download or read book Three Essays on the Higher Education Expansion in China written by Qiao Wen. This book was released on 2020. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Putting together, my dissertation provides a holistic picture of the full impacts of one of the largest education expansion program on record. My work is among the first to systematically analyze how the expansion affects "treated" individuals and the labor market at large, and therefore could contribute to all levels of decision-making. Findings from my analyses could also have global implications for much broader issues such as education-related income inequality, and the general equilibrium and distributional effects of large-scale social programs.

Book Synopsis Higher Education, Meritocracy and Inequality in China by : Ye Liu
Download or read book Higher Education, Meritocracy and Inequality in China written by Ye Liu. This book was released on 2016-10-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the changing opportunities in higher education for different social groups during China’s transition from the socialist regime to a market economy. The first part of the book provides a historical and comparative analysis of the development of the idea of meritocracy, since its early origins in China, and in more recent western thought. The second part then explores higher education reforms in China, the part played by supposedly meritocratic forms of selection, and the implications of these for social mobility. Based on original empirical data, Ye Liu sheds light on the socio-economic, gender and geographical inequalities behind the meritocratic façade of the Gaokao (高考). Liu argues that the Chinese philosophical belief in education-based meritocracy had a modern makeover in the Gaokao, and that this ideology induces working-class and rural students to believe in upward social mobility through higher education. When the Gaokao broke the promise of status improvement for rural students, they turned to the Chinese Communist Party and sought political connections by actively applying for its membership. This book reveals a bleak picture of visible and invisible inequality in terms of access to and participation in higher education in contemporary China. Written in an accessible style, it offers a valuable resource for researchers and non-specialist readers alike.
