The legal framework is characterised by strong formal protections for workers, including mandatory written contracts and extensive social insurance coverage, though enforcement varies considerably across regions and sectors. The legislative development reflects China&rsquo;s transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented system and the accompanying need to regulate increasingly complex employment relationships.</p>
