SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM
Options for China

edited by Jason Z Yin (Seton Hall University, USA), Shuanglin Lin (University of Nebraska, USA) & David F Gates (Exxon Company, International, USA)

This is the first-ever book to provide a comprehensive analysis of Chinese social security reforms with a variety of views. It addresses issues such as what kind of social security system China should establish, how this system should be managed and financed, and how the transition from the old system to the new system can best be accomplished. The authors of the papers in this book include internationally renowned Chinese and Western social security experts (such as Martin Feldstein and Henry Aaron), Chinese policy makers, and scholars who have worked on Chinese social security for years.


Contents:

  • The Choice of Old-Age Security System
  • Social Security Funds Management and Transitional Issues
  • Health Care Reforms, Rural Social Security, and Social Welfare
  • Social Security Reform in the World: Lessons for China


Readership: Economists, policy makers, undergraduate and graduate students in economics and finance.


"... the volume is of high value to the field of Chinese social policy studies. At least two-thirds of the chapters are of high quality and are important for those who study related issues."
