China's Development Challenges (eBook, ePUB)

Economic Vulnerability and Public Sector Reform

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that a major potential source of social tension in transition and developing countries is not poverty as such, but vulnerability to poverty: the risk of becoming poor. It demonstrates how in China many recent public sector reforms have made many households extremely vulnerable to poverty.
