Pension Policy and Governmentality in China: Manufacturing Public Compliance

by Yan Wang

About this book

Yan Wang investigates how Chinese pension policy seeks to secure public compliance. The book connects the design and communication of social policy with the experiences and responses of the people affected by it.

Drawing on empirical research, Wang examines state–society interactions, policy legitimacy and the ways individuals interpret official messages. The analysis follows how pension reform operates through everyday practices as well as formal rules. First published in 2022, the complete edition includes the original tables, figures and references.
