metadata.value: In response to the pandemic of new coronavirus infection, the Chinese government has closed
  down many cities, suspended businesses, restricted their activities and issued self-isolation orders
  for the population. However, these critical public health measures have created economic
  chaos and caused unemployment for millions of people. Since mid-January 2020, Chinese
  authorities have taken unprecedented measures to contain the virus, including closing down
  a large number of cities in Hubei Province, introducing mandatory self-isolation for almost
  half of the country’s population, extending public holidays, imposing travel restrictions, closing
  schools and businesses, and more. In Chinese labor law science, there was a discussion
  about the nature of the days that were declared as non-working. Many issues were solved
  differently in different provinces of the People’s Republic of China. In order to mitigate the
  impact on workers and employers, the Chinese government also issued various regulations to
  maintain the basic living conditions of workers and reduce pressure on employers. These acts
  cover such areas as wage payment, specifics of dismissal (which only affected workers), social
  security and social protection. The government also developed a number of measures aimed
  at special protection of migrant workers, which are understood as Chinese citizens who are
  not registered in cities and live in rural areas. The article also addresses the business response
  to the economic crisis caused by the pandemic. A new employment model has emerged in the
  labor market — the sharing of workers, which allows for better distribution of labor, but also
  brings potential problems in the area of labor legislation.
