Having carried out a revolution to reform societal ills, it has ended up with broadly the same problems as the West: gender inequities, ethnic conflict, labor disputes, and environmental decline. Now, in tandem with its recent economic development, movements toward social justice are poised to further transform the nation. Social Issues in China offers a fascinating multilayered study of wide-scale problems and the actors and activists involved in their possible solutions. Divided equally among gender, labor, ethnicity, and the environment (with some matters compounded by questions of age and geography), chapters illuminate tensions between public policy--some recent, others centuries old--and public participation by intellectuals and various disadvantaged groups. A constant throughout these pages is the potential for change in a nation's political, social, and cultural institutions, toward a more responsive society, a more responsible government, and improved quality of life for its people. Among the featured concerns: Rural Chinese women's political participation: problems and prospects Domestic labor, gendered intergenerational contracts, and shared elder care in rural South China Interpreting the ethnicization of social conflict in China Language, learning, and identity: problematizing education in Tibet Trade union membership and workplace relations The struggle for survival and impact: case studies of NGOs involved in gender, ethnicity, labor, and environmental issues A volume with global implications, Social Issues in China gives sociologists, political scientists, psychologists, educators, and public policymakers a profound lens for understanding social problems and social change processes--in its title country, and in general. 000695375 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000695375 650_0 $$aSocial problems$$zChina. 000695375 650_0 $$aWomen's rights$$zChina. 000695375 650_0 $$aLabor laws and legislation$$zChina. 000695375 650_0 $$aEnvironmentalism$$zChina. 000695375 651_0 $$aChina$$xEthnic relations. 000695375 651_0 $$aChina$$xSocial conditions$$y2000- 000695375 7001_ $$aHao, Zhidong,$$d1952-,$$eeditior of compilation. 000695375 7001_ $$aChen, Sheying,$$eeditor of compilation. 000695375 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tSocial issues in China$$z9781461422235$$w(OCoLC)847549159 000695375 830_0 $$aInternational perspectives on social policy, administration, and practice ;$$vvolume 1. 000695375 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695375 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4614-2224-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000695375 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695375$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695375 980__ $$aEBOOK 000695375 980__ $$aBIB 000695375 982__ $$aEbook 000695375 983__ $$aOnline 000695375 994__ $$a92$$bISE
