But despite substantial improvements in standards of living, the Chinese countryside is largely lagging behind. This report analyzes the key socio-economic forces at work in China's rural areas and discusses the current government strategy for rural development. It argues that in order to bridge rural-urban divides the current policy approach needs to go further in recognizing rural-urban complementarities beyond agriculture and that food-security targets need to be balanced with wider rural development objectives.--Publisher's description. 0aRural development 0aRural development2 aOrganisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.41uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264059573-en  cEK  c14997d14997
