• Resumen

  • One of the pillars of China's booming economic growth is its labor market. Behind the world's second-largest economy -made up of a labor force of over 900 million and based on the foundation of solid and growing economic stability- is a working population subject to very different labor conditions to those of its western competitors, thereby creating an advantage and a high degree of attractiveness for foreign investors. This paper explores the labor market and labor rights in China, the role played by the government, workers' organizations and international actors, migration flows as well as the prospects of a country considered to be the “factory of the world”.
