This article presents information on the labor laws in China. The new labor law in China aims to reduce child labor. It also encourages the abolition of night work for women. Similar laws have been on Chinese statute books in the past but have not been enforced. Chapter III of the new labor law states that the regular daily working period for adults will be eight hours, but, owing to varying local conditions and the nature of the work, factories may petition the proper local government organ for the extension of the time limit to ten hours. For minors the working period must, under no circumstances, exceed eight hours and female workers are absolutely forbidden to work at night hours.
