This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of China’s children and youth, tracking their well-being in the context of the country's recent political and social dynamics.

Recenzje

"The well-being of youth in China is a critical issue for the future of China and the world. Despite the miraculous rise of the Chinese economy, most children from rural backgrounds are still raised in a very challenging environment, and their human capital is not sufficiently developed. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of this issue and will likely have a huge impact for policy consideration." -- James Jianzhang Liang, Ph.D., Co-founder and Chairman of Ctrip.
