The future of Chinese manufacturing: employment and labour challenges

'The Future of Chinese Manufacturing' gives context and analysis on employment and labour issues in contemporary China, specifically relating to manufacturing industries.

With one fifth of the world's workforce, China has taken advantage of its cheap labour to serve as the world's factory, achieving stunning growth for two decades.

This book covers the appreciation of RMB, constant increases in minimum wage, shortages of skilled workers in China's labour-intensive manufacturing sector, and the fact that many large multinational corporations (MNCs) must cut costs, and are thus shifting their main production bases to other developing countries.
