Based on a systematic literature review, the book aims to forecast the investment scale of Chinese higher education and the allocation structure of different types of higher education institutions in the next decade.

The authors first introduce the complex setting of Chinese higher education finance, including the background and theoretical foundation, as well as an in-depth literature review. Via international comparative data, they explore the adequacy and equity of the financial resources. By applying quantitative methods, such as panel data analysis and time series analysis, they forecast the public investment scale in higher education and the allocation structure and proportion among different types of higher education institutions. In addition, the book investigates the standards of teaching funding and teacher research funding, which are considered the main funding resources of Chinese universities and individual teachers.

As China has become the world’s largest country of higher education, "how to provide adequate and equal funds to meet the increasing demand" is of great interest to scholars and policymakers both from China and abroad. The book will also appeal to postgraduate students who would like to know the overall status of Chinese higher education finance.

This book primarily investigates the factors influencing rural teacher well-being in China.

By jointly using international comparable data from Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) as well as China’s survey data from 29 counties of ten provinces in the mainland, this book not only illustrates the current status and influencing factors of rural teacher well-being in 43 education systems from a global perspective but also examines the urban-rural gaps on teacher well-being in China, as well as the explanatory factors in the dimensions of individual, school, and community. Moreover, this book employs the most recent methods developed in well-being literature, such as LASSO, random forests, and SVM, to enhance the data analysis.

The book is valuable for international readers concerned about rural education and rural teachers in China. Researchers who focus on the frontier of well-being research will also benefit from the quantitative applications in this book.
