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.
