The book is funded by UNESCO's Beijing Office and gathers policy-oriented articles on China's migrant worker issues based on practical experiences from eight project sites. In fact, the discussion and debate surrounding migrant worker issues are among the most severe challenges facing China's social policy today. This book is the research outcome of UNESCO and CAS's nearly five-year "Migrant Workers and Poverty Alleviation" project. 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 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.
