Till present, a complete socioeconomic picture of Chinaโs ethnic groups still remains unclear from Chinaโs official sources. How different have been Chinaโs ethnic minorities in every sphere of daily life and economic development during Chinaโs fast transition period? In order to answer these questions, we need a detailed and comparable set of data for each of Chinaโs ethnic minorities.
This book provides, in an easy to use format, a broad collection of data on Chinaโs 55 ethnic minorities. It is a resource book that profiles the demography, employment and wages, peopleโs livelihood, agriculture, industry, education, science and technology, and culture, sports and public health for each of these ethnic minorities. These indicators, estimated on the author based on materials gathered from a variety of sources and clearly presented in one volume, will be of great value to researchers, businesses, government agencies, and news media.
