AnnotationThis paper demonstrates that urban social exclusion in China does not only include restricted participation by the "underclass" in urban life, but also the deprivation of certain political, social and economic rights. It describes how the character of urban social exclusion has changed over time; and examines the social exclusion of rural workers living and working in urban areas. It concludes that urban social exclusion in China needs co-ordinated reforms that target the whole set of problems in an urban "underclass" that lacks political rights, social protection and economic opportunities.
