[full-text, 32 pages]
[excerpt]
One of the key institutional outcomes of Chinas economic reforms has been
to create a new role for employers that is separate from the state, and
allows enterprises to concentrate on their business. To protect workers,
the government has set up public institutions for many social and
administrative functions that until recently pertained to work units
(danwei), or did not exist. This paper focuses on three such functions for
which the 1994 Labour Law makes the government responsible: employment
services, labour inspection and social insurance.
