The title investigates rural labor mobility in China since 2003, an
important phenomenon in the process of Chinese economic transition,
influential in economic growth at the macro level and individual
wellbeing at the micro level. Based on empirical analysis, the
study identifies and evaluates the characteristics, driving forces
and impact of the migration and mobility of the rural labor force.
The following factors are considered to impact rural workers'
mobility decisions and are thoroughly discussed in each chapter:
(1) convergence in the level of regional income, (2) industrial
structure and the age structure of the workforce, (3) the household
registration system, (4) the income gap, (5) the issue of children
that are left behind, (6) the health status of rural migrant
workers and (7) their social networks. Drawing on new research
methods, the final chapter reassesses the impact of rural parents'
migration to the city and the overall wellbeing of their children
left behind at home, challenging the well-accepted view that there
is a negative correlation between the two. The book will appeal to
scholars and students interested in labor economics, Chinese
economy, sociology, demography, migrant population and especially
labor mobility in China.
