Summary, etc. There have been many attempts over the years in China to address the issue of women's subordinated role in society and it is the aim of this paper to examine the various ways the issue has been addressed over two different historical periods. The study will focus particular attention on rural China where women account for more than half of the labour force which suggests that there is a unique opportunity for their participation in the process of development. It will be an examination of the process through which socioeconomic changes affect the position of women in society. In the last four decades, The rural sector in China has experienced great socio-economic changes, especially the reforms after 1978 which have turned the collective form of production into decollective, home based production and are transforming the highly centralized planned economy into market economy. A rapid increased in agricultural production and an overall rise in the average income of the peasantry was simulated by the reform. However, as a result od the agrarian changes women's work has been greatly intensified and expanded in the formal sector as well as informal sector. It has been estimated that in the formal sector alone, women account for about 50% of the rural labour force especially after reform; with the male movement onto nonfarm labour, women's labour is increasingly becoming dominant and replacing the labour of men in agricultural production. It has become evident that a reordering of the sexual division of labour and the intensification of rural women's work have been coalescing. What then, are the interrelationship and interaction between the agrarian change and the alteration in the gender division of labour? What are the implications of those changes for rural women, especially those in the poor areas?
