Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Social policy, specifically childcare policy, was historically a critical tool in promoting women’s labour market participation during the ‘socialist’ regime in China. Prior to economic reforms, the central government clearly specified the welfare function of childcare in relieving women’s household burden, thereby enabling women to more equally participate in production work under the socialist planned economy. However, in the last 30 years, as China has restructured the centrally planned socialist economy of the 1949–79 period towards a more export-oriented industrial economy (Arrighi 2007: 351–78), the Chinese government has been more interested in national growth than relieving women from household responsibilities and promoting welfare support for working women with children. As the economy has gradually opened up to market competition, social reproduction expenditures, especially those in state-owned enterprises, have been considered as costs to market efficiency and economic growth by the government. Therefore, public funding for childcare has been restrained and even cut. And cost-cutting in the domain of social reproduction greatly affects women’s employment opportunities, as women are still the primary caregivers in Chinese society. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
