China has universal healthcare, at many tiers from zero to half co-pay.
Pension Insurance: Provides retirement benefits after a required number of contribution years (typically 15 accumulative years).
Medical Insurance: Covers healthcare costs. In many cities, this is combined with Maternity Insurance.
Work-Related Injury Insurance (Workers’ Compensation): Covers medical expenses, rehabilitation, and disability compensation for occupational illnesses or workplace accidents.
Unemployment Insurance: Provides financial support if you are laid off.
Housing Provident Fund (HPF): A mandatory savings account where both the employer and employee contribute, which can be withdrawn for housing-related expenses like buying or renting a home.
That was 14 hours a day 6 days a week. It was non specialized jobs mostly filled by people getting their first job moving from the farms to the cities. Many people changed job within the first year. 40 hours work weeks were available.
Regarding work safety, factories I visited were quite good, modern equipment and practices. I have seen machinery being used quite commonly which would elsewhere be considered highly specialized.
Not sure about free healthcare, I did not get to need the hospital.
I’m not saying it’s the best country in the world, but in general the people I met were happy and enjoyed a good life without many problems.
How many hours is that about? They don’t have 40 hr limit? How about work safety and health insurance? Free healthcare right?

Ew that sounds like the American system. Disgusting.
