FDI and job creation in China (pdf 400kb)

This paper examines the effect of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on job creation in the Chinese manufacturing sector, using a large sample of manufacturing firms for the period 1998-2004.

The results show that FDI has positive effects on employment growth, which is associated with their firm characteristics and in particular, their access to export markets.

The paper concludes in saying that FDI has contributed to job creation in the Chinese manufacturing sector through its access to international markets and other firm characteristics which favor growth in employment and through positive effects on employment in private-domestic firms.
