term

Iron rice bowl is a standard term in China, but it is also occasionally used - mostly ironically - in Western languages, for example to point out the connection between research efforts and research projects financed by politics and business. In the Chinese culture, civil servants, the military and employees of state-owned companies are traditionally among those people who have an iron rice bowl.

history

In the early phase of the People's Republic of China , the creation of jobs under the term “iron rice bowl” was considered desirable. During the great leap forward , Henan Province played a key role in not only introducing the first people's communes and kitchens, but also trying to establish an iron rice bowl for the farmers. The system provided that in the villages that were affiliated to the people's communes, a grain allocation should be guaranteed. This should be supplemented by a wage system. In the Renmin Ribao of September 20, 1958, this system was expressly stated to be advantageous. Only with the reform and opening-up policy introduced by Deng Xiaoping was the state-guaranteed iron rice bowl gradually abolished.
