The Chinese work point system was a series of labor
organization rules and regulations used for the calculation of the amount and
quality of labor and for determining the form of labor organization. The
history of the work point system is thus the history of China’s agricultural
collectivization. In this book we analyse how these work points were allotted,
how they provided, or impaired, labor incentives, and if they leave open the
possibility for income mobility.
