Abstract
Studies of employment work rewards in urban China indicate that workers' accessibility to material resources varies significantly by their occupations and affiliated work units. Survey data for 968 respondents from Guangzhou, China, on determinants of work rewards (income and housing space) are presented. Results of the multivariate analysis demonstrate the following for the Guangzhou sample: (1) both work units and occupation have effects on income generation; (2) work units show mixed effects on housing space; and (3) educational attainment and self-employment appear to have far greater influence on income than political credentials in an economic reform era. The impact of the emerging economy on the given bureaucratic redistribution system is identified. Implications of these results are discussed in terms of inequality in China.
