Abstract

In recent years China has seen an increase in the number of occupational accidents as business privatization has led to the abandonment of earlier state‐run administrative and supervisory bodies. Since 1 January 2004 there have been new rules on occupational accident insurance which have brought a number of innovations. All firms are now required to have occupational accident insurance and to pay the relevant contributions, while workers, including itinerant workers, in a de facto employment relationship are entitled to benefits from such insurance. However, it will take a few years to prove whether these legislative improvements are really practicable; and the system still offers no effective protection of legal rights.
