Rural-urban migration is an important aspect in the development of
countries. Until the late 1980s China was one of the few countries
that controlled population movement both directly and indirectly
through policies of economic and social control. The gradual
relaxation of these policies has resulted in greater freedom of
movement for the population, the effects of which are discussed in
this significant volume. The book concentrates on the migration of
minorities from a social, economic and ethnic perspective and
attempts to quantify the overall level of movement. In particular,
the authors examine the relationships between education, ethnicity
and migration and identify the policies and conditions conducive to
achieving positive outcomes for minority migrant households. The
book aims to increase our understanding of the effects of movement,
on the social, economic and ethnic status of migrant families.
Taking existing census data as a starting point, the book makes a
new contribution by drawing on a unique survey in four different
regions, the data from which is used as the basis for detailed case
study analysis. The study of internal migration is vital, the
authors argue, in order to understand the change process from a
centrally planned economic system to a market orientated society in
China. The internal mobility of minorities can be regarded equally,
as both a product of, and a contributing factor to, this social
transformation. This notable and very readable book will be of
significant interest to policymakers, international and development
economists and researchers and students of Asian economics and
demographics.
