英文摘要:
  (8)The Lewis Turning Point and the Reorientation of Public Policies: Some Stylized Facts of Social Protection in ChinaCai Fang·125· Mass ruraltourban migration and expansion of urban employment have enabled Chinese people to increase their income and participate in Chinas economic growth. While the pace of growth has been fast, social development has lagged behind. This phenomenon has left ordinary workers and their households socially less protected during the transition of the Chinese economy. This paper argues that as the Lewis turning point is reached, the incentives driving government policy have changed. As citizens voice strong demands for equitable public services, the Chinese governments focus on stimulating economic growth in the reform period before the turning point has shifted to supplying better public services. Consequently, not only has social protection been strengthened, but the function of government has been transformed from an economic growthorientation to a public serviceorientation. It then offers an empirical test of this verdict by narrating the experiences of laborrelated legislation, formation of labor market institutions, more inclusive social security building, and hukou system reform during the turning point.
