| Abstract: | Using life-history data on 4,600 resondents from 17 cities in China from 1949 to 1994, the authors offer two contributions to the literature on transitions from state socialism: the authors focus on access to workplaces as reflected in individual's job shifts across types of organizations and economic sectors. Patterns of job shifts over time reflect both institutional change and evolving mechanisms of stratification, and they therefore provide information relevant to theoretical arguments about reforming China's state socialist economy. |
