In the past two years, many textile mills have found it hard to recruit new workers. The problem has assumed serious proportions, so much so that it has become a social problem. With this problem in mind, we investigated the situation in two major branches of the textile industry in Suzhou, the textile and silk mills.

[In the previous selection in this issue, as well as in the last number of Chinese Sociology and Anthropology, we have sought to introduce our readers to the Soviet perspective on contemporary Chinese society. These selections portray the Soviet sinologists' views of the "Maoist" model of social change and the role that ideology is alleged to have played in the shaping of contemporary Chinese social structure.

Social problems in socialist China? If this query had been raised during Maoist times a decade or more ago, the likely answer, both inside China and in the West by those in a position to know, would have been "No," or "No serious ones that we know about." Now, in the 1980s ask the same question of any knowledgeable person—Chinese or not, official, social scientist, tourist, or ordinary citizen—and the answer invariably is an emphatic "Yes," followed by a long list of "urgent social problems" topped almost always by the population problem. In recent years and months, ample evidence of serious Chinese concern with the study and resolution of a variety of social problems facing contemporary Chinese society can be found in their media, government policy directives, and scholarly journals. Indeed, it is the emergence of the systematic study of social problems, particularly as a branch of sociology (itself a nascent but growing discipline), that makes it possible to compile this and other specialized volumes on...

The large-scale changes that had affected every corner of Shanghai since the early 1990s made it easy for us to assume that territoriality has become less an issue than it was in the recent past. Over the course of our ethnographic fieldwork and observations conducted intermittently between 2000 and 2010, however, we came to realize that the age-old dichotomy between the lower quarters and upper quarters had hardly been blurred by the profound social and economic transformations. Making explicit links among Shanghai nostalgia, place attachment, and neighborhood gentrification, this article explores the ways in which historical memory was reified and manipulated in dichotomized "upper and lower quarters" as a consequence of conscious efforts by local residents and municipal officials. Our research findings suggest that the notions of the "lower quarters" and "upper quarters" continued to be an extremely meaningful category of articulating one's status and position in a rapidly stratified society. We argue that the ongoing spatial reconfiguration have answered the strategic need of the municipal officials in their bid for a global metropolis and has impacted the community-building practices in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods such as Bay Bridge.

Chinese society has been considered a typical patriarchal society. However, discussions on gender equality in today's China become mired in sharp conflicts between diametrically opposed points of view. One view maintains that gender equality has already been realized in today's China, and that the status of females is already very high. The other view holds that the status of today's Chinese females is constantly declining, and that there is an urgent need to show concern about, and seek solutions to the problem of gender inequality. Adherents of both views cite a series of facts and figures to prove that they are correct. This article maintains that the genesis of such debates rests on the fact that the concepts of gender inequality and intergenerational inequality have been mixed with the concept of patriarchy, that no detailed investigations have been made on the changes in these two dimensions, and for this reason only one aspect is seen while the other aspect is overlooked. This article finds, by means of fieldwork in a Chinese city, that the empowerment of young females does not come only from males, but mainly from elderly females. Hence, investigations into the mechanisms of patriarchy and social gender must be connected with analyses of intersecting factors such as gender and generation/age.

In this study, we analyze marriage patterns in the city of Shanghai using the behavioral two-sex marriage model approach applied to the 2005 National One Percent Population Census data. The empirical part shows that the behavioral marriage model could be useful in assessing how much of the change in aggregate marriage behavior is due to changes in the distribution of the micro individual's marriage preferences and how much is due to changes in the set of unmarried females and males in the respective age groups that, in the long term, will become serious due to the highly unbalanced sex ratio at birth in China. We also employ a multistage life table projection model to show the long-term population scenario that conditions continuation of the current marriage pattern.

On the basis of comparing and reflecting on diverse measurements of conjugal powers, this study uses "who, on the whole, wields more powers of decision in the household" as the dependent variable, and operationalizes the resources hypothesis, the analysis of cultural norms, the theory of marriage dependence and satisfaction, and the process perspective of power as multidimensional interpretational variables. The results of analyzing urban and rural samples in China's Shanghai and Lanzhou indicate that socioeconomic resources such as education and income had no great significance between spouses, and that interviewees who contributed more efforts to the household, were good housekeepers, and received more support from relatives wielded more powers of decision. The party who depends upon and needs marriage is more willing to forgo family powers. Local subcultural and cultural norms have a significant influence on conjugal powers. However, parties who wield greater family powers do not necessarily express satisfaction with their gender equality in the family; the individual's autonomous power rather than relative power is more predictive of satisfaction with gender equality.
