The recent unprecedented scale of Chinese migration has had
far-reaching consequences. Within China, many villages have been
drained of their young and most able workers, cities have been
swamped by the floating population , and many rural migrants have
been unable to integrate into urban society. Internationally, the
Chinese have become increasingly more mobile. This Handbook
provides a unique collection of new and original research on
internal and international Chinese migration and its effects on the
sense of belonging of migrants. The expert contributors discuss
topics including discriminatory wage penalties in China's migrant
labour markets, the socio-economic wellbeing of China's migrant
workers, the effect of migration on rural communities in China, and
identities of overseas Chinese and their links with China. They
offer a new perspective on the identity formation of Chinese
migrants whilst focusing on their wellbeing and communities.
Students and researchers of contemporary Chinese demography,
internal migration and international affairs will find this
Handbook to be essential reading. It will also be of interest to
social and political scientists and migration practitioners in the
field. Contributors: K.W. Chan, Z. Cheng, R. Connelly, F. Guo,
