The Distribution of Income in China

by Keith Griffin (Editor), Zhao Renwei (Editor)

Includes some of the initial results from a 1988 household survey in both urban and rural China, shedding light on the effect of recent economic reforms on the inequality of income. The study uses a broader definition of income than did earlier ones, including income in kind, production for self-consumption, and imputed values for government subsidized goods and services. Includes the raw data from the survey. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
