Can China Meet Her Employment Challenges
评估了中国就业前景的关键争论，认为中国有能力创造足够就业并保持国际竞争力，但在建立完善的社会保险体系方面面临困难。
In this paper,the authors tried to assess key debates regarding the future of China's employment situation. The main conclusions are that China is well-positioned to meet the employment challenges-generating sufficient jobs to employ its workers,and mobilizing workers to remain internationally competitive.However, China is currently in a weak position to establish strong social insurance programs required for a healthy,functioning labor market and to ensure adequate protections for the welfare of her citizens.Drawing upon new evidence from the 2005 1%sample mini-census,and other micro data sources,the authors tried to show that the best evidence available actually tells quite a compelling story of rapid labor market development,increasing labor market integration,and increasing labor scarcity in China.In the future,increases in labor productivity and production of higher value added items will play a key role in enabling continued improvements in living standards while remaining globally competitive.Setting up a well-functioning social insurance system is a difficult but critical challenge for Chita,made complicated by a host of institutional and historical factors.
