The 1995 Labor Law was supposed to lay a foundation for workers' legal and contractual rights and a system for resolving labor disputes. In the 2000s, the Beijing leadership began to channel labor disputes into arbitration committees and the court system through bureaucratic and legal procedures. The Labor Contract Law, which went into effect on 1 January 2008, is considered the most significant change in the Chinese labor law in the reform period.

In 2006, the daily pay rates for cement pourers and carpenters were 30 yuan and 50 yuan respectively; they soared to 50 yuan and 100 yuan in 2008.
