Abstract

This study examines patterms of wage inequality across ownership types and its regional structure in post-reform China in order to understand an emerging process of inequality. Using industrial wage data, I explored historical changes of cross-ownership wage inequality and its spatial differentiation during the reform period. This stuy found that pattems of wage inequality need to be understood in the context of changing redistributive economy which shapes state-enterprise relation in china's industrial sector. This relationship in turn determines labor market outcomes during the reform period including wage inequality. Regional structure of cross-ownership wage inequality also needs to be understood in terms of the differentiated process in which reqional wage levels are related to different wage factors. The findings have significant implications for understanding new patterns of soical and spatial inequalities in post-reform China.

본 연구는 중국의 경제개혁 후 새로이 등장하는 격차의 문제를 이해하기 위하여 소유권형태별 임금의 격차와 그 지역 구조를 고찰한다. 공업부문의 임금자료를 이용하여 소유권유형간 임금격차의 역사적 변화와 그 공간적 차별성을 조사하였다. 이 논문은 중국의 공업부문에서 국가-기업의 관계를 결정하는, 변화하는 재분배경제체계라는 맥락안에서 임금격차의 패턴이 이해되어야 한다고 본다. 왜냐하면 그러한 관계가 아울러 임금격차를 포함한 제 노동시자의 결과에 영향을 미치기 때문이다. 소유형태별 임금격차의 지역구조 또한 지역내의 임금수준과 임금결정 요인간의 차별화된 관계속에서 파악되어야 한다고 본다. 이 연구의 논의 중국의 경제개혁 후 새로이 나타나는 사회적, 공간적 불평등의 문제를 이해하는데 중요한 단초를 제공한다.
