Defining skills in the context of nation-building and talent competition: An analysis of Chinese skilled immigration policies and implications for comparative migration studies
As countries in East Asia are increasingly entering the global talent competition, there is still a paucity of information on how the notion of skill is construed in these less-studied destinations. This talk examines the concept of skill that has been embedded in China’s immigration policies since the late 1970s. It illustrates how the understanding of skill has been socially constructed and evolved across time.
