China's new urban poverty : an introduction -- Poverty incidence and determinants -- Poverty groups : livelihood and trajectories -- Impoverished neighbourhoods -- Poverty dynamics : property rights perspective.
Urban poverty is an emerging problem. This book explores the household and neighbourhood factors that lead to both the generation and continuance of urban poverty in China. It is argued that the urban Chinese are not a homogenous social group, but combine laid-off workers and rural migrants, resulting in stark contrasts between migrant and workers' neighbourhoods and villages.
