“…Regional inequality in China is multi‐dimensional, and recent research has advanced our understanding of the space and scale of regional inequality, moving beyond the orthodox black‐box approach. Scholars have identified the typical core‐periphery spatial pattern of China's regional development (Zhang & Kanbur ; Cao ), reflected by two‐dimensional measures of societal polarisation, coastal‐inland and urban‐rural gaps. In the early stages of the economic reform, the central government was prone to develop the coastal region and encouraged this region to ‘get rich quick’ (Wei ).…”

This paper analyses multidimensional inequalities in health care distribution for Henan Province in central China. The paper has two objectives: (1) examining the multi-scale health care inequality in Henan from two dimensions, urban-rural and core-periphery and (2) revealing the spatial effects of China's multiple transitions, provincial development strategies, and local economic development on health care distribution. The authors used geographic information systems-based spatial statistical methods to detect the spatial-temporal variation of health care distribution, and applied geographically weighted regression to reveal the effects of multiple transitions on the health care sector. The results illustrate that urban-rural and core-periphery gaps in Henan are still significant even though health care reforms and recent provincial policies have improved the access of rural and peripheral areas to health care. Health care inequality is sensitive to geographical scale and clustering, and spatial patterns of health care are shaped by the interwoven forces at national, provincial, and local scales.

“…For example, most majority students feel less successful at the expense of long duration and more effort in learning English compared with other school subjects. Even though they learn English for about ten years, most of them fail national tests such as the CET and PETS 7 . This negative feedback probably results in low expectancy of learning English.…”

Abstract-Learner motivation is considered one of the most important individual variables that affect learners' achievement in the educational domain. Utilizing the Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT) of achievement motivation proposed by Eccles and her collaborators, this study focuses on the motivational differences between minority and majority learners 1 in the context of English as a foreign language in Xinjiang where minority students learn English (L3) in Chinese (L2). This study further explores how much the minority learners' L2 proficiency level influences their motivation in learning L3. Three hundred and seventy-one students from one of the top universities in Xinjiang voluntarily answered a questionnaire and forty of them were interviewed. Results of both quantitative and qualitative analysis showed that minority learners were more motivated than majority learners in learning English. The minority students' L2 proficiency level was found to have an influence on their interest in learning L3 at the low-intermediate level.From these findings, the present study discusses the importance of systematic English education and the medium of L3 instruction for the minority as well as the implications for improving the motivation of the majority EFL learners in Xinjiang.

“…La plupart des travaux plus récents confirment que les minorités qui vivent en milieu urbain ne sont pas pénalisées de manière significative en termes de rémunération. Ainsi, utilisant des données géographiques, Cao (2010) observe que les écarts de revenu entre milieu rural et milieu urbain au Xinjiang s'expliquent principalement par la concentration des minorités dans les zones pauvres, ce qui signifie que le revenu des minorités dépend, au moins en partie, de facteurs géographiques. Hasmath et Ho (2015) appliquent une approche économétrique à des données recueillies par l'enquête menée dans le cadre d'une étude sur le revenu des ménages chinois (Chinese Household Income Project ou CHIP) et ne constatent pas de corrélation significative entre l'appartenance à une minorité et le revenu parmi les personnes vivant en milieu urbain.…”

Résumé Dans la littérature existante, les conclusions sur l'effet de l'appartenance à une minorité ethnique sur le salaire en Chine urbaine sont contrastées. Pour en savoir plus, les auteurs décident d'examiner la situation en tenant compte plus précisément du groupe d'appartenance, exploitant pour ce faire une volumineuse série de données sur les minorités chinoises. Après contrôle de l'effet de différentes variables, ils font apparaître une pénalité salariale importante aux dépens de groupes «en marge» (tibétains et turciques notamment), mais pas par rapport aux minorités considérées dans leur ensemble. Les résultats, robustes à différentes spécifications, sont riches d'enseignements sur le plan théorique comme pour l'action publique.
