| Research Abstract |
I have collected literatures and documents on the Anti-Unemployment Policies of China (1949-2003) and translated, researched them.
Research results are as follows:
(1) The Anti-Unemployment Policies during socialist period (1949-1978)
a) provided employment in accordance with the principle of overall consideration,
b) prohibited against influx of peasants into urban,
c) went and worked educated urban youth in the countryside and mountain areas.
(2) The Anti-Unemployment Policies during socialist period resulted in a) divide rural from urban and the formation of the status system, b) the establishment of rigid labor system, c) the birth of danwei (system of unit) community. It was the unpleasant, hopeless society for Chinese people.
(3) Since the economic reform and open-door policies in the late 1970s, particularly, since beginning of full-scale commercialization in 1992, it is getting more and more difficult to moderate the unemployment problems. Chinese Government now try to expand and improve social safety-net and the working opportunity.
(4) Chinese Government has regarded irregular employment to expand and improve the working opportunity. However the characteristics of irregular employment are long time working, low wages, no-guarantee their living and the short-term employment. Enlargement of irregular employment will produce in the standard of labor's social status.
(5) "Socialist Market System" is hopeful but cruelty social for Chinese people.
