This comprehensive book delves into the profound transformations in population and labor management that have taken place in China since the early 1980s, offering valuable insights into their economic and social implications. Through a detailed examination of three critical components of China's population management strategy—the household registration (Hukou) system, family planning policy, and the labor market system—the author sheds light on the historical background, implementation processes, and the complex socio-economic issues that arise from these reforms.

Drawing upon a rich blend of qualitative and quantitative analysis, the book introduces key metrics to enhance our understanding of the Hukou system, exploring its impact on economic behavior, fertility rates, care for older individuals, entrepreneurship, institutional premiums, and gender wage differentials. By analyzing these data, the author presents constructive recommendations aimed at guiding policymaking efforts, with the ultimate goal of deepening market-oriented reforms in China's economic system and improving social welfare.

With its comprehensive coverage and insightful analysis, this book serves as a valuable resource for academics, students, and policy makers interested in social policy, labor economics, and China's population and labor policy, as well as the broader context of Chinese economy and society. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics shaping China's population and labor landscape, offering valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the country in the years to come.
