The impact of labour law reforms on economic growth and labour relations in China: Analysing the role of regulatory policies in shaping workforce stability

Abstract The objective of this article is to explore the significance of labour-related laws and regulations, taking account of the role of the Chinese Communist Party (CPP) and the Chinese government, particularly concerning labour, unemployment, and reform challenges. The analysis demonstrates that stringent labour laws are associated with lower unemployment rates due to increased job security and protection for workers. The study indicates that the CPP significantly shapes and influences labour-related policies and regulations, and so economic growth.
