This study attempts to deal with how China's economic reforms have undermined the "iron rice bowl" system which since the 1950s has provided both "lifetime employment" and "cradle to the grave" welfare for many workers, particularly those in state-owned enterprises. It starts by examining the background of these reforms and how they have changed workplace relations in the Chinese economy; it also looks at key themes relating to the role of trade unions and the management of human resources in both state-owned and joint-venture firms. A number of illustrative case studies involving industrial relations and human resource management are set out.
