Social Consequences of China’s Economic reform
Introduction
China’s reform period was marked by increased economic, social, cultural, as well as
political transformations over the last quarter of a era, starting from 1978 up to 2006 results
predominantly from two important factors. The first factor is the radical transformation of the
country’s economic system. The second factor is China’s effective economic performance,
especially in relation with its economic shift. The country’s economic prosperity is evident in its
GDP growth rate of approximately ten percent annually, its tremendous increase in terms of per
capita household income, as well as the nation’s radical decrease in people living in abject
poverty (Jones & Cheng, 2003). Nevertheless, there are also a number of social issues, which
have accompanied the country’s economic reforms. For instance, some of these problems are
manifest in fields such as healthcare, income security and national income distribution, in
addition to education. To highlight these effects, this paper evaluates the economic consequences
resulting from China’s drastic economic reforms.
Economic Consequences

these reforms began spontaneously, especially in the country’s local restructuring in agriculture
during the late 1970s. The agricultural reforms contributed to increased autonomies for
individual collective farms and people working in these farms. Such farm reorganizations were
also codified and advanced further in relation to what become commonly known as Household
Responsibility System (HRS) during the year 1978 through 1979. Likewise, the authorities also
initiated and ensured the replacement of collective farms with individual or family farms in early
1980s. as for industry, early and remarkable reforms began during the early 1980s and onwards,
