During the process of shifting from a planned economy to a market based one the government significantly reformed the labor market, gradually dismantling the government-controlled system to form a more competitive market. In the process of marketization private enterprises have become increasingly important for employment, while at the same time government controlled enterprises have laid-off workers and significantly reduced their social benefits. Though in aggregate terms China’s massive population has enjoyed significant benefits during the government reform efforts it has become clear that the rapid GDP growth has come with a price tag and that workers’ rights are not being adequately protected. In response to this the government has, at least on paper, taken action to increase its efforts to somewhat shift the imbalance between capital and labor. In this process the government has shifted from a system where it had complete control over labor, benefits and wages to a system where its influence has significantly been reduced.
