The 2007 volume of The China Society Yearbook , the second volume in the annual China Society Blue Book series to be translated into English, contains important facts and analysis from Chinese scholars on a wide array of issues in China. With over 1.3 billion people and continuous economic growth, Chinese society is experiencing changes on an unprecedented scale. Issues explored in this volume include the progress and goals of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, China’s rural-to-urban migration, changes in the labor force, labor relations, and consumption habits, assessments of health care and education, analysis of China’s demographic changes, and reports on China’s security, social psychology, and living standards. Along with analysis, this volume offers recommendations and insight into the daunting issues and opportunities facing China as it moves towards a free-market system.
