520 $a The purpose of this study is to examine work-unit structure and work-unit status attainment in urban China.
520 $a Base-line work places in China's cities (i.e., factories, schools, stores, government offices, etc.) are called work units (danwei). These work units are defined by the government as multi-functional organizations. It is through work units that the government administers the country and controls the people.
520 $a Work units form an organizational hierarchy. Four variables are suggested to examine the position a work unit occupies in the hierarchy: ownership, functional division, authority or official rank, and size of the work unit.
520 $a Work units are evaluated by Chinese people as having status characteristics. Better work units offer more benefits to workers. Consequently, to enter a better work unit serves as a goal of status attainment. The question, "who gets where," is then raised, and the determinants of work-unit attainment are explored.
520 $a Recent survey data from a city-wide representative sample (Tianjin, North China) are used to examine these issues. The author finds that work-unit status is determined by multidimensional variables (ownership, functional division, and authority) that are legitimized by the government.
520 $a With regard to work-unit attainment, it is found that education, parental status, and social resources (the status of contacted persons, or guanxi) are the basic determinants, exerting significant influence on the work-unit attainment for both males and females, and for all age cohorts. In contrast, the effects of gender and political variables on work-unit status are found to be affected by social-political changes observed in post-revolution China. It is also found that gender inequalities in occupations and earnings are rooted in an unequal work-unit assignment between men and women, due mainly to the fact that the memberships in the Communist Party and Youth League help men, but do not help women.
520 $a At the end of this study, the author discusses the implications of the findings, and offers suggestions for further research.
