The book conducts a systematic and comprehensive exploration on the content and State obligations regarding the right to work in international law, including both international human rights law and international labor law. It also examines the latest developments in China's legislation, especially labor law, in the light of clarified international standards. The book analyzes the implications of the Chinese experiences for the international human rights system.
Book Synopsis China and ILO Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work by : Virginia Brás Gomes
Download or read book China and ILO Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work written by Virginia Brás Gomes and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although China is not new to labour law - it was among the founders of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in 1919 - labour conditions in China today are the subject of concern to observers both inside China and in the international community. In response, China has devoted much attention recently to reforming its labour law system, a process driven by a political reorientation towards labour protection in the context of economic globalization. However, labour disputes and labour unrest continue to proliferate. Using as its starting point an international research seminar held at Helsinki University in January 2013, this volume gathers a remarkable array of academic perspectives on China and its legal system by scholars from China, the United States, and Europe into a stimulating and unique combination of commentary and analysis of the challenges relating to implementation of fundamental labour rights as spelled out in the landmark 1998 ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work in the Chinese setting. Importantly, the analysis fully takes into account action in relation to the promotion of labour rights by not only the Chinese government but local governmental authorities, trade unions, enterprises, and other actors. Each author focuses on a different aspect of how these fundamental labour rights operate in the Chinese legal environment and the kinds of obstacles met in their protection. Among the issues that arise are the following: gaps between ILO conventions and Chinese national laws occurring in the transformation of international obligations into domestic laws; how parties to a labour dispute cases may invoke ILO conventions before courts or administrative authorities; market obstacles caused by linking trade with observance of labour standards; the trade union rights framework in China; bottom-up pressures from workers' collective action; conflicts between Chinese state-owned enterprises and their employees; complications in informal employment labour relations; the growing divide between statute law and legal practice; implementation of the anti-discrimination law; discrimination due to China's household registration system; and corporate social responsibility. Many of the challenges relating to implementation of fundamental labour rights discussed in this volume can be considered common to many countries. The book offers new research questions and a wider scope of analysis, and also provides new tools for discussion regarding the promotion of fundamental labour rights.
Book Synopsis Work and Inequality in Urban China by : Yanjie Bian
Download or read book Work and Inequality in Urban China written by Yanjie Bian and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1994-01-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic analysis of the impact of work organization on the social stratification of individuals in urban China. It explains why economic and labor market segmentation is possible and necessary in state socialism at a certain stage of its development, as in market capitalism, and how important one's work unit or danwei is to the life of socialist workers in Chinese cities. Based on survey data, personal interviews, and official statistics, the author shows that structural allocation, status inheritance, educational achievement, political virtue, and interpersonal connections (guanxi) interplay in determining an individual's opportunities for entering and moving into a desirable place to work, for obtaining Communist party membership and an elite class status, and for receiving material compensation such as wages, bonuses, fringe benefits, housing, and home locations.
Book Synopsis Landmark Labor Law Cases in China by : Baohua Dong
Download or read book Landmark Labor Law Cases in China written by Baohua Dong and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Labor Law of the People’s Republic of China, originally promulgated in 1994, has undergone many changes and continues to be subject to judgments and arbitral awards arising from disputes and such claims as breaches of labor contract and denial of benefits. This book provides most updated, detailed, and comprehensive interpretation of Chinese labor law issues, focusing on detailed analysis of twenty leading cases. The first part of the book describes in depth the role of labor law in Chinese society, elaborating on its development and its characteristic features. The cases that follow, each described in minute detail, thoroughly explicate the issues that underlie the dynamic growth of Chinese labor law, such as the following: establishment and identification of the employment relationship; performance, change, dissolution, and termination of the employment contract; determining atypical employment relationships; fiduciary duties; health insurance provisions; work-related injury; labor dispatching service; legal remedies—mediation, arbitration, litigation; labor inspection; legal issues on foreigners’ employment in China; violation of rights to privacy, human dignity, and equal employment; enterprise dissolution or merger; employer’s right to dismissal; economic compensations arising from illegal dismissal; and worker’s damages arising from illegal dissolution of the employment contract. The carefully selected cases span the full range of labor law issues, with perspectives from parties to the action, attorneys, and judicial personnel as well as the editor’s expert analysis of the legal principles, statutes, and case law involved. This English translation of a book published in 2016—the first to focus on labor and employment-related issues in China in a comprehensive way via case law—will help the international community to understand China’s labor law environment and its current achievements. It will prove of immeasurable practical value for practitioners, arbitrators, and academics, as well as for employers and workers with an interest in China.
Book Synopsis Law and Fair Work in China by : Sean Cooney
Download or read book Law and Fair Work in China written by Sean Cooney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's economic reforms have brought the country both major international clout and widespread domestic prosperity. At the same time, the reforms have led to significant social upheaval, particularly manifest in labour relations. Each year, several thousand disputes break out over working conditions, many of them violent, and the Chinese state has responded with both legal and political strategies. This book investigates how Chinese governments have used law, and other forms of regulation, to govern working conditions and combat labour disputes. Starting from the early years of the Republican period, the book traces the evolution of the law of work in modern China right up to the reforms of the present day. It considers the structure of Chinese work law, drawing on both Chinese and Western scholarship to provide new insights into its unique features and assess where the law is innovative and where it is stagnant and unresponsive. The authors explore the various legal and extra-legal techniques successive Chinese governments have adopted to enforce work law and the responses of firms, workers and organizations to these practices.
Book Synopsis The China Employment Law Guide by : Grace Yang
Download or read book The China Employment Law Guide written by Grace Yang and published by TCKPublishing.com. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The China Employment Law Guide addresses various key China labor and employment issues all employers (especially foreign companies doing business in China) and employees (especially expats seeking a job or working in China) need to address or understand. It provides practical and easy-to-understand answers to China labor and employment questions from hiring through firing and nearly all things in between. For example, it addresses the issues China employers constantly confront on matters ranging from what they need to consider in drafting their employment contracts, what should go into a China-centric employer set of rules and regulations and why such a document is essential at all, how to hire, how to fire, overtime, vacation time, pregnancy leave, probation terms, employee benefits, and even lifetime employment. Perhaps most importantly, it confronts head on the many myths Western companies have about China employment laws and discusses how those myths can cause so many problems. This book consists mostly of blog posts and articles my colleagues and I have authored over the years on our award-winning China Law Blog. We do our best to make these articles (and this book) as concise and readable as possible because to provide our readers with accessible legal and practical answers that work in the real world. Unless absolutely necessary, this means we do not go into the weeds in citing and explaining China's employment rules and regulations, but we instead lay out clear paths forward for dealing with real-life employment law issues and problems. China's labor and employment laws are complex and local and constantly evolving, and so in many cases, we write not so much to provide the right answers for your specific situation, but to arm you with the right questions you must ask to get the right answers.
Download or read book Building China written by Sarah Swider and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughly 260 million workers in China have participated in a mass migration of peasants moving into the cities, and construction workers account for almost half of them. In Building China, Sarah Swider draws on her research in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai between 2004 and 2012, including living in an enclave, working on construction jobsites, and interviews with eighty-three migrants, managers, and labor contractors. This ethnography focuses on the lives, work, family, and social relations of construction workers. It adds to our understanding of China's new working class, the deepening rural-urban divide, and the growing number of undocumented migrants working outside the protection of labor laws and regulation. Swider shows how these migrants—members of the global "precariat," an emergent social force based on vulnerability, insecurity, and uncertainty—are changing China's class structure and what this means for the prospects for an independent labor movement.The workers who build and serve Chinese cities, along with those who produce goods for the world to consume, are mostly migrant workers. They, or their parents, grew up in the countryside; they are farmers who left the fields and migrated to the cities to find work. Informal workers—who represent a large segment of the emerging workforce—do not fit the traditional model of industrial wage workers. Although they have not been incorporated into the new legal framework that helps define and legitimize China's decentralized legal authoritarian regime, they have emerged as a central component of China's economic success and an important source of labor resistance.

Book Synopsis China's Workers Under Assault by : Anita Chan
Download or read book China's Workers Under Assault written by Anita Chan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book contains case studies with substantive analysis of Chinese workers in a variety of settings: state enterprises, urban collectives, township and village enterprises, domestic private enterprises, and foreign funded enterprises. The cases include urban workers migrant workers from the countryside, and workers who are sent to work outside of China. The analytical framework for these case studies lays out why labor rights violations have been occurring in China and highlights the contex in which these violations operate and the extent to which these selected cases are not isolated incidents. Moreover, the dilemma of Chinese workers is put into international perspective: the context of the international labor market, the setting of competitive minimum wages in Asia, and the concern for Chinese workers' rights taken up by the International Labor Organization (ILO). This book debunks the conventional wisdom that Chinese workers are thriving because the Chinese economy is booming. Indeed the wage structures of these enterprises of different ownership types contribute to widening income disparities in China. The book uncovers what exactly overseas Chinese entrepreneurship (Taiwan and Hong Kong), means at the factory level. And it calls for a new approach to scrutinizing the phenomena of the so-called Chinese economic miracle and it's repercussions on other economies and labor markets.

Download or read book China at Work written by Rudolf P. Hommel and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1969 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1921, when Rudolf Hommel joined Henry Chapman Mercer on his expedition into China, they found a land untouched by the arrival of machine technology. Grain was planted in holes dug with a long-handled conical stone; it was threshed by slashing the stalks against slatted wooden frames. River-mud bricks were pulled across the fields on sleds with rope handles, then used to build houses which had bamboo roofs and soil floors pounded smooth. The hand-woven cloth was dyed, wrung by hand, and draped on large bamboo scaffolds to dry.Hommel limited his examination--wisely, in view of the wealth of examples that he found--to primary tools, those which met people's basic needs; he discussed the handicrafting of tools and methods of providing food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. The photographs and sketches are thoroughly documented, and the various processes are explained and, when necessary, located by region.A review by Florence Ayscough in "Books" (September 12, 1937) referred to the original 1937 edition of "China at Work" as a "book which reveals the lives of millions who, in order to remain among the living, must daily "hsiang fa tzu"--evolve methods--with tools incredibly primitive, yet incredibly effective." Nearly unavailable since that limited first edition, the volume is now more than a historical study; it is a first-hand source book for a time that is now gone.

Book Synopsis The Right to Leave and Return and Chinese Migration Law by : Guofu Liu
Download or read book The Right to Leave and Return and Chinese Migration Law written by Guofu Liu and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006-12-13 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Right to Leave and Return (RLR) is a fundamental human right, each State has the sovereign right to regulate RLR in accordance with its own laws. In the case of China, the country’s communist political system has significantly affected the development of RLR and the country’s approach to it. As a rule, China’s approach is restrictive. As part of its reform and ‘opening up’ policies, China has embarked on a range of reforms to liberalise RLR, but the reforms lack cohesion and focus, and remain restrictive. Given its past and its complex social and economic conditions, China may have some justifications for its approach, but on balance, has more to gain from adopting a more liberal approach. The issue of RLR in China is crucial both for the future of China, and for development of RLR in the world. The Right to Leave and Return (RLR) and Chinese Migration Law provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the RLR in international and Chinese migration law. It has been written on the basis of Chinese statutes pertinent to the RLR, also of relevant international instruments and key cases. It investigates RLR in international migration law and practice; analyses RLR in the context of China, and identifies its driving factors; investigates the conditions and practical concerns relevant to the protection of RLR; and concludes with recommendations on how the Chinese regulatory regime governing RLR can be improved.
