About 16 percent of Chinese households — which is estimated to be at 64.3 million — had either their land seized or their homes demolished during China's urbanization drive, according a survey by a Chinese university.
The survey also said few households received employment benefits or access to social security services.
Among respondents whose land was seized, less than 80 percent said they were compensated and merely 4 percent said they were given help to find employment, according to the China Data Center in Tsinghua University on Sunday. Only one in 10 enjoyed access to social security benefits in cities where they were relocated.
For interviewees whose houses were demolished, about 94 percent received compensation while less than 2 percent received job-seeking help. About 21 percent were covered by urban social benefits, the report said.
