  • More about Work Safety Regulation in China: The CCP’s Fatality Quota System


Fatality quotas are being used in China to promote work safety and reduce work-related deaths. This policy is controversial, but Gao analyzes how it is functioning to aid the country in balancing economic growth and social stability. The book also examines the implications of this policy's implementation in the local regions and how local officials attempt to handle these problems.

The implementation of fatality quotas in China's industrial sector and local governments is a controversial policy aimed at promoting work safety and reducing work-related deaths. In his book, Gao analyzes the effectiveness of these quotas in achieving these goals and the challenges they face in balancing economic growth and social stability. The book also examines the significant implications of the policy's implementation in local regions and how local officials are attempting to address these problems.

This is the first book to systematically examine the role of death indicators in work safety improvement in contemporary China, providing valuable insight into Beijing's quota-oriented approach to policy-making. The book explores the historical background and theoretical foundations of fatality quotas, as well as the empirical evidence on their effectiveness in reducing work-related deaths. It also examines the political and economic factors that influence the implementation of fatality quotas and the challenges local officials face in enforcing them.

Gao's book is a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners interested in work safety and labor management in China. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the policy's effects on workers, employers, and society as a whole, and provides insights into the potential risks and benefits of using death indicators to improve work safety.
