Features: This book comprehensively and systematically discusses the changes in China's social structure and the status of social mobility, starting from the late 1970s when the rural household responsibility system was implemented. China is currently in a period of comprehensive transformation from a traditional to a modern society. With the gradual advancement and deepening of the economic reform goal, shifting from localized reforms in the micro level to the establishment of a socialist market economy system at the macro level, a reorganization of social resources and the reshuffling of the social resource allocation system have occurred. The changes in the ownership, distribution, and distribution relationships of social resources have not only led to profound transformations in the existing interest structures but will also continue to drive a series of shifts in social structures, making it a hot topic of interest for both domestic and international theoretical circles and policy research departments in recent years. The purpose of this book is: through the study of social mobility, to explore the inherent nature, operational mechanisms, and development trends of Chinese society during the transitional period by examining the diverse and changing manifestations.
