The changing relationship between the Chinese Government and Non-governmental Organisations in social service delivery
Using the Guangzhou social governance reform pilot as a case, this paper aims to explore the transformation of Chinese governments in managing collaborative non-governmental organisation (NGO) relationships. Local governments have adopted multiple new governance tools, and the expansion of the NGO sector with genuine grassroots development has been observed. However, valuable principles of New Public Management (NPM) paradigm have not been follow…
China's social welfare
Disability Trends in Hong Kong Community-Dwelling Chinese Older Adults
In general, public health efforts to prevent ADL limitation should be supported to reduce the demand for long-term care services in the coming decades
An international definition of social work for China
There are differing opinions on how far the international values and internationally understood practice of social work, as epitomised by the international definition on social work, can apply universally to all countries, notably China. The lack of capacity in the Chinese social work community to develop evidence‐based and adaptable practice has hindered the effective learning and systematic ‘indigenisation’ of overseas social work knowledge. Th…
The emergence of social assistance in China
This article outlines the development of China's social assistance programme, including its design, implementation and trends. The Chinese government has given high priority to the establishment and institutionalisation of this programme. To have an effective social assistance programme in the context of an increasingly pluralistic society, China is facing the profoundly challenging task of designing a coherent and over‐arching social protection …
Social welfare in China
This chapter focuses on social welfare reform in China. It traces in detail the progress of social welfare reform in the wake of the market-oriented economic reforms that began in 1978 which marked a distinct break with the egalitarian/needs-based social policy of the previous Maoist era. It outlines the pragmatic reform strategy and describes its impact on the work-based welfare system established by Mao. In essence, the government is reducing i…
Social security reforms in China
The phenomenal success of China's market‐oriented economic reforms since the 1980s has rendered the traditional employment‐based social security system increasingly inadequate and inefficient. For decades, the Chinese government has been trying to develop a more pluralistic, effective and affordable social security system which will be compatible with both a thriving market economy and a flagging socialist political structure. While the emerging …
Community-based service for the frail elderly in China
This study of community-based social services for the frail elderly in China shows that as China turns into an ageing society and the capacity of the family support for the frail elderly is rapidly declining, there is an urgent need to develop formal social services to support elderly persons continuing to live in their community. This article provides a general background on the structure of the emergent community services. Using the example of …

Enforcing Family Care Obligations for the Elderly in China Through Mediation
Demographic and social changes are challenging the capacity and willingness of the Chinese traditional virtue of adult children providing financial and social support for their aged parents. Because of the underdevelopment of formal social services in China, the Chinese Government has to rely on legislation and a neighbourhood-based mediation service to enforce family care obligations. This paper describes the operation of the mediation service a…
The Emergence of a Community‐based Social Assistance Programme in Urban China
To many people, the problem of poverty in China was confined mainly to the rural areas, and the situation of urban poverty was regarded as insignificant. Yet in fact, market‐orientated economic reforms have created an urban underclass, made up of poorly paid state workers, the unemployed, and migrants from the countryside. In attempting to respond to the mounting needs of the urban poor, the Chinese government has introduced a means‐tested social…
The political economy of unemployment and unemployment insurance in the People's Republic of China
The question of how China, burgeoning with one-fifth of the world’s total population, avowedly and unswervingly a state socialist society, yet moving towards a market economy, responds to the problem of unemployment should be of interest to social policy analysts around
Dismantling the 'Iron Rice Bowl
In common with most countries in the world, China is facing an increasing demand for welfare. The free-market economic reforms of the last decade have dramatically transformed social policy in China, which is gradually retreating from an egalitarian and collective approach and moving towards a pluralistic and 'residual' orientation. Now, widening income inequalities are accepted as both necessary and inevitable
