Project B05 (2026-29)
Protection Against Impoverishment and Unemployment Risks? Outcomes of Dualized Welfare Reform in China
Project B05 aims to understand the outcomes of dualized welfare reform in China. China’s welfare system is highly dualized and benefits mainly the urban middle classes. We study how socioeconomic effectiveness and political integration are influenced by the uneven scope of social insurance benefits, the stressors of demographic change, and transnational economic turbulence. To this end, in addition to field research, we conduct statistical analysis using panel regression on large data sets.
