Corporate-Run Society: The Practice of the Danwei System in Beijing during the Planned Economy Period

Abstract: The danwei system is one of the most important institutional arrangements in the Chinese planned economy era (1950s–1970s). It also offers a clue to understanding China’s urban transformation since the economic reform. This paper aims to explore the spatial prototype of the danwei system and understand the internal logic for the operation of this system by conducting a case study of the danwei compound of the Beijing No. 2 Textile Factory. Focusing on the obligation of the factory to run social welfare service… Show more

“…In addition, since the People's Republic of China was founded, the establishment of the danwei system and the household registration system has enhanced the occupational stability of urban residents, while farmers are often left in the countryside to engage in agricultural work (Wu & Treiman, 2004). Since the reform and opening up in the 1980s, China's market transformation has accelerated the collapse of the danwei system (Xiao et al, 2020), making individuals more closely connected with the market, which has increased the instability of urban residents' employment. Moreover, owing to the process of urbanization, a large number of young rural laborers have migrated to cities to work and have gradually transformed into urban residents in terms of identity, which may also increase the diversity of urban youth occupational trajectories.…”
