Küresel Ekonomik Sorunların Çin İşgücü Piyasasına Etkileri: 2008 Sonrası Dönemde Çalışma İlişkileri Ve Mevzuatta Meydana Gelen Değişimler

Abstract

2008 yılında piyasaları etkilemeye başlayan küresel kriz; beraberinde küresel ekonomiyi yolundan çıkaracak sorunları da getirmiştir. Çin ekonomisi küresel iktisadi sorunlardan en az etkilenen ülkeler arasında görülmesine rağmen, ihracat odaklı büyüme stratejisi sonucu krizden etkilenmektedir. Çin’de iktisadi sistemin alt sistemi olarak çalışma ilişkileri sistemi; devletin sosyal alanlarda merkeziyetçi anlayıştan uzaklaşması sebebiyle ekonomik görünümden farklı bir durum arz etmektedir. Artan işgücü huzursuzluklarını ortadan kaldırmak amacıyla 2008 yılında yürürlüğe giren Yeni İş Sözleşmesi, İstihdamın Teşviki ve İş Uyuşmazlıkları Arabuluculuğu ve Hakemlik Yasalarına rağmen huzursuzluklar artarak devam etmektedir. Çalışmada, 2008 yılı öncesi yeni kanunların hazırlanmasına yol açan sebepler ortaya konduktan sonra, günümüzde Çin’de çalışma ilişkilerinin işleyişindeki aksaklıklar ve ortaya çıkan durum nedenleriyle tartışılmaktadır.
