Invisible China

Book • 2020

In 'Invisible China', Scott Rozelle and Natalie Hell highlight the significant disparities in human capital between urban and rural China, which pose a major challenge to China's transition from a middle-income to a high-income country.

The authors argue that China's reliance on unskilled labor and its failure to invest adequately in rural education could lead to economic stagnation and social unrest.
