The Study on the Influential Factors of Chinese Workers' Rights Realization 1

Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate the degree of Realization of Workers' Rights and Influential Factors of Workers' Rights Realization in China. The survey shows: the overall degree of Chinese workers' rights realization is relatively low. Specifically, the lowest lies in the right of access to vocation and rest. The possibility of workers' being treated fairly when disputing with the employer is low and workers' overall level of payment is low. Vocational training is provided at a poor level and the proportion of the workers who join the housing fund and have maternity insurance is kept low; In all, among the 10 sub-factors that are considered to affect workers' right realization, individual related labor contract factors; employer related factors; government related factors are considered more important than worker related factors and union related factors. These results may be indicated that the way of development of labor relations in China may be different from that in Anglo-American countries. It is likely to reach a mutual cooperation and win-win relationship on the whole-via the ways of employers' self-control and the government's regulation under the concept of harmonious society and harmonious labor relations
