In 2009, AIDS had already become the leading cause of death by infectious disease. Yet, even despite ChinaOCOs recent economic and social progress, a number of development issues - not least the emergence of glaring inequalities - have also emerged. The expansion of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is also an important longer term development challenge.

It examines aspects of income and gender inequality; rural-urban migration; commercial sex work; healthcare and civil society organizations.a Health care reforms and the role of NGOs are also considered as well as general government policy. Overall, this book provides a full discussion of the most critical aspects of the current HIV/AIDS situation in China and its impact on Chinese society.
