THE TRANSFORMATION OF PUBLIC HOUSING IN CHINA IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGES

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present public housing transformations in China in the context of socio-economic and demographic changes and to determine the welfare state model that emerges as a result of these transformations. First, the characteristics of public housing in the central planning period will be presented, followed by the stages that public housing has undergone since the introduction of market reforms. The first phase represents the period of gradual liberalization of the housing sector from 1978 to 1997, the second phase represents the period from 1998 to 2008 when public housing acquires a liberal character with productivist elements, while the third phase refers to the period after 2008 in which public housing experiences a rebirth. The author’s view is that such a shift in public housing policy is not only a consequence of the government’s desire to return to socialist roots and meet the housing needs of the urban population, but also aims at adapting public housing policy to changes in the labor market, which ultimately leads to further urbanization, economic growth as well as political and social stability. accordingly, a hybrid model of welfare state has emerged in recent years.
