SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"China's leaders faced a major challenge to provide citizens with acceptable social welfare during the economic transition. They are confronted with building a new support system in the countryside, shifting the burden in urban China from the factory to the local state, and integrating new social groups into existing systems. The book comprises a detailed study of healthcare, disease control, social insurance, and social relief."--Jacket.
