| Description: |
Co-sponsored
by the Chinese Ministry of Labor and directed by Professor Richard H.
Price, the project of "JOBS IN CHINA" works through two
principal partners: the Michigan Prevention Research Center at the
Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan and the Institute
of Psychology (Professor Fang Liluo), Chinese
Academy of Sciences of
China. The project is conducting a study of unemployed workers and
their families who have been laid off from State Owned Enterprises in
seven Chinese cities. They are also testing a program for teaching them
job search skills. The project also has trained human service workers
from each city to deliver the program. The program has served about 2000
workers as a first step demonstration of the program's effectiveness. |
