"Presenting Nice Work is fascinating because of the wide range of stories you hear, and the people you get to meet. Not only do we cover the big picture trends and theories, we get up close to the real experience of work, from the people who actually do it."

China
As part of the BBC's China Week, Nice Work reports from Beijing and Chengdu, the capital of the Szechuan region of Western China, in the first of two programmes on the changing face of China.
In this programme Philippa Lamb assesses how working lives in China have been transformed since economic liberalisation began to take hold 10 years ago. And she also asks how our working lives in the West will be affected by China's economic rise.
China currently produces 5 million graduates every year. They earn a fifth of what western graduates can expect and increasingly, western companies are opening up and expanding in China in order to take advantage of this relatively cheap, well-educated labour force. So might highly-skilled western jobs go the same way as manufacturing jobs went and head East?
And how long until Chinese companies, in numbers, become multi-nationals and employ a global workforce?
