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. 410 0$aInternational Perspectives on Social Policy, Administration, and Practice,$x2625-6975 ;$v1 606 $aSocial change$zChina 607 $aChina$xSocial policy 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a306.095109045 701 $aHao$b Zhidong$f1952-$0289829 701 $aChen$b Sheying$01104640 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483446003321 996 $aSocial issues in China$94184769 997 $aUNINA
