N2  - Work unit housing is a distinct characteristic of China's  urban housing system . Most urban h ousing is developed and managed  by various work units. A n e w urban hou s i ng policy, initi ated by  the gov e rnment of the Peop l e's Republic of Ch i na with the aim to  resort to market transactions, will fundamentally c hallenge the  important ro l e of work unit housin g. This exp l oratory study  contributes a better understanding of the situation and prob l ems  of the work unit housin g system a nd its poten tial to deal with  t he housing problems a nd issues under the new social and econ om i c  c i rcumstances.  Basically, this research  questionn a ire s urvey a mo ng work  stud ies of new work unit housing  availab l e secondary data was  research.  was conducted  unit househo ld s and  approaches in Nanning  also extensively used  through a  three case  City. The  in this  Cost recovery and misma tch of individual's housing needs and  inequity to access h ousing are the main weaknesses in the present  wo rk unit housing system. However, the experience of the new  wor k un it housing approach - co llecting individual financial  resou rces for h ouse bu i lding a nd work unit based housing co operat ive - shows that the work unit housing system has the  abi lity to tackle these prob l ems .  Instead of elimi n ating t h e unfa irn ess of the existing  hou s ing system, the public hou se sales program could worsen the  situation. Ho useholds with high i ncome and good housing  condit i ons will get more benefits from purchasing the dwelling  unit at high ly s ubsidized Prices. Wor k unit based cooperat i ve  hou sing is a effective altern at ive to deal with this new issue  through c o -owners h ip patterns.  Based on the research findings, it is concluded that  unit housing must be promoted rather than constrained, and  there is much room for improvement.
