Class Details

China is today a transitional economy; that is, it is an economy in transition from planned socialism to capitalism. The unique combination of the two traditionally opposite economic forms empowers China’s continuous, rapid and stable growth over the past two decades. This course will provide an overview of diverse backgrounds of Chinese economy and guide students to explore, understand and analyze the dynamic transformation of Chinese economy and society. Major topics of the course include: economic reform and development, poverty reduction and income disparity, education and gender discrimination, rural-urban disparity in well-being, population growth and one child policy, migrant workers and urban development. As a group, we will explore data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey in order to analyze some of these topics.
