This book is the outcome of a nearly five-year "Migrant Workers and Poverty Alleviation" project jointly conducted by UNESCO and CASS. Employing a range of sociological research methods, it begins with an analysis of the poverty issues faced by China's migrant workers and focuses on addressing poverty, proposing many insightful policy recommendations. It holds significant reference value for sociological researchers and government decision-making departments. The book is published in both Chinese and English, making it accessible to English readers seeking to understand contemporary China's issues.
