The Role of Education in Wage Determination in China's Rural Industrial Sector.

Meng, Xin

Education Economics, v3 n3 p235-47 Dec 1995

Uses data from China's market-oriented rural industrial sector to test education's effects on wage determination after 10 years of economic reform. Although education has influenced wage determination differently for various groups in diverse institutional and technological settings, this difference reflects a labor-productivity effect. This trend is likely to continue. (12 references) (MLH)
