Rural-urban migration is playing an
increasingly important role in shaping the economic and
demographic landscape of Chinese cities. Over the past two
decades, China has transformed itself from a relatively
immobile society to one in which more than 10 percent of the
population are migrants. China's mobility rate is still
low compared with that of advanced industrial economies, the
sheer size of the migrant flows and their dramatic economic
and social consequences have already profoundly affected
economic growth and urban development. Looking ahead,
decision makers at all levels will need to craft policies
that address issues of migration and rural-urban migrants
issues that are hotly debated among scholars, Chinese policy
makers, and others. This report presents recent findings
that describe migration patterns and changes since the 1980s.
