This book is the result of a nearly five-year "Migrant Workers and Poverty Alleviation" project jointly conducted by UNESCO and the China Academy of Social Sciences. Using a series of sociological research methods, it begins with an analysis of the poverty problem among China's migrant workers and focuses on addressing this issue, 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.
