Features: Farmers are not rich, China is not rich. A large number of farmers move from, which is not only a necessary path for Chinese farmers to escape poverty and achieve wealth, but also the only way for rural China and even Chinese society to move towards urbanization and modernization. The Study of Chinese Migrant Workers is the crystallization of Associate Professor Yu Hong, a sociologist, and Ding Chengchen, a graduate student, long-term tracking surveys and research on Chinese migrant workers. This monograph comprehensively reviews, reflects, and analyzes case studies from sociological and contemporary economic development perspectives on the origins, growth, and the new industrial workforce formed by Chinese migrant workers, as well as the numerous social issues they have already and are currently triggering. It is both pleased with the profound changes that a large number of migrant workers have brought to China's society and economy by moving to cities, and concerned about their unique, unstable fate and experiences. As a work that examines the phenomenon of Chinese migrant workers, the value of The Study of Chinese Migrant Workers lies not only in its passionate humanistic attention to an emerging group or even class, but also in providing certain theoretical support and basis for governments at all levels to formulate agricultural development strategies.
