- Summary:
- Why and when do some authoritarian states develop welfare regimes that include workers in flexible and precarious employment positions, despite their limited economic or political leverage to challenge welfare exclusion? Yang investigates this question by examining locally divergent patterns of pension expansion in China. Drawing on interviews, surveys, and anecdotal evidence, she argues that the answer lies in local citizenship institutions and the ability of local governments to deny informal workers access to citizenship membership. Extending her insights beyond China, Yang offers a valuable framework for understanding the shifting dynamics of welfare politics in the context of growing labour informalization, the rise of the gig economy, and global migration.
