This comprehensive book delves into the profound educational implications of rapid economic transformation, offering illustrative analyses of teacher labor markets during China's remarkable period of economic growth. By combining a wealth of historical document archives and empirical micro-level quantitative data, the book explores trends in the teacher labor market and their far-reaching consequences. Through an in-depth investigation of the wage-attractiveness of the teaching profession, the shifting composition of the teacher force, the impact on student learning, and emerging alternative career destinations for teacher exits, the book sheds light on the complex dynamics shaping teacher careers. While this book focuses on a specific country case, its analytical framework holds immense relevance for a wide range of developing countries seeking to understand, through an occupational choice lens, how evolving economic landscapes influence teacher career decisions and, in turn, teacher quality and student learning.

This book appeals to a diverse audience of teacher policy scholars, comparative education researchers, labor economists, economic and education historians, teacher union researchers, and education policy makers. It provides valuable insights and perspectives that will contribute to the ongoing discourse on education reform and policy in developing countries.
