摘要
This paper proposes a property transformation perspective to examine the mechanisms of wealth accumulation and wealth inequality creation during China kpost-1978 transformation. It examines how enterprise ownership restructuring, marketization and state politics have resulted in greater wealth inequality between cadres and ordinary workers, between public＂ sectors^organizations and private sectors^organizations. Mainly drawing on data from the Chinese Household Income Project condueted in 1995 and 2002, we find that the property transformation process has created greater wealth disparity among different occupational groups and among those working in different work organ＆ations since the mid-1990s. However, it is inconclusive whether non-housing wealth or total household wealth are increasing at the same pace across different occupations and work organizations with the growing market penetration and the spread of privatization,
