| Abstract: | This paper, taking Nanhai City of Guangdong Province as an example, focuses on five interrelated aspects of the migrant labour
force of China in recent years. Attention is initially paid to the background of the labour migration from inland towards
coastal area. Then, the demographic characteristics of the migrant labour force are analysed before turning to the analysis
on the reasons for the migration. Fourthly, the impacts of the migrant workers on the socio-economic development of Nanhai
City and the problems are examined. Finally, the prospects and some suggestions for the labour migration are put forward.
Migrant labour force is sometimes called floating population by both Chinese and western scholars. |
