Abstract
The China Rural Household Panel Survey (CRHPS) launched by Zhejiang University (hereafter referred to as ZJU) in 2015 aimed at setting a baseline for investigating rural issues in China. This comprehensive survey involved complete information on China’s rural households, including their basic household structure, employment, income and expenditure, household wealth, agricultural production and management, land utility and circulation, migration of population and urbanization, financial behavior, health and social security, and education and training. Moreover, the survey covered the basic conditions of China’s rural grass-roots units (village committees), which included information on local public services, social economy, social governance and environmental characteristics, as well as other areas.
