Download or read book Governmental Policy for Rural-Urban Migrants in China written by Ying Li and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government policy for rural-urban migrant workers in China has been undergoing great changes since early 2000. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Chinese government excluded this group from the urban social protection system, but since early 2000, rural-urban migrant workers have gradually been included in some urban social programs. This study aims to explain this policy change and explore its effects. Both documentary analysis and case study research methods have been employed to fulfill this task. Government documents and other secondary data are examined first to provide explanations for this policy change. A case study in one city of China, namely Tianjin, was conducted to find out the effects of the policy change on rural-urban migrants' welfare and their migration patterns. It is hoped that this study can help to enhance international understanding about the situation of rural-urban migrants and relevant policymaking in contemporary China.
Book Synopsis Rural Urban Migration and Policy Intervention in China by : Li Sun
Download or read book Rural Urban Migration and Policy Intervention in China written by Li Sun and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines rural-urban migration policies in China, and considers how Chinese workers cope with migration events in the context of these policies. It explores the contribution of migrant workers to the Chinese economy, the impact of changes within the ‘hukou’ system (household registration) and the impact of recent migration policies promoting rural-urban migration and targeting key events during migrant workers’ migration trajectories - job-seeking, wage exploitation, work injuries and illness - namely the corresponding ‘Skills Training Program for Migrant Workers’, the ‘Circular on Managing Wage Payment to Migrant Workers’, the ‘Circular on Migrant Workers Participating in Work-Related Injury Insurance’, and the ‘New Rural Medical Cooperative Scheme’ (Health Insurance). Through in-depth interviews, it examines how when facing such challenges, migrant workers choose to either make a claim under existing policies, or use other coping strategies. The book notably proposes a typology of “coping” which includes a variety of administrative coping, political coping and social coping, and considers how workers in China harness the power of civil groups and social networks.

Book Synopsis Urban Inequality and Segregation in Europe and China by : Gwilym Pryce
Download or read book Urban Inequality and Segregation in Europe and China written by Gwilym Pryce and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores new research directions in social inequality and urban segregation. With the goal of fostering an ongoing dialogue between scholars in Europe and China, it brings together an impressive team of international researchers to shed light on the entwined processes of inequality and segregation, and the implications for urban development. Through a rich collection of empirical studies at the city, regional and national levels, the book explores the impact of migration on cities, the related problems of social and spatial segregation, and the ramifications for policy reform. While the literature on both segregation and inequality has traditionally been dominated by European and North American studies, there is growing interest in these issues in the Chinese context. Economic liberalization, rapid industrial restructuring, the enormous growth of cities, and internal migration, have all reshaped the country profoundly. What have we learned from the European and North American experience of segregation and inequality, and what insights can be gleaned to inform the bourgeoning interest in these issues in the Chinese context? How is China different, both in terms of the nature and the consequences of segregation inequality, and what are the implications for future research and policy? Given the continued rise of China’s significance in the world, and its recent declaration of war on poverty, this book offers a timely contribution to scholarship, identifying the core insights to be learned from existing research, and providing important guidance on future directions for policy makers and researchers.

Book Synopsis China's Great Migration by : Bradley M. Gardner
Download or read book China's Great Migration written by Bradley M. Gardner and published by Independent Institute. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's rise over the past several decades has lifted more than half of its population out of poverty and reshaped the global economy. What has caused this dramatic transformation? In China's Great Migration: How the Poor Built a Prosperous Nation, author Bradley Gardner looks at one of the most important but least discussed forces pushing China's economic development: the migration of more than 260 million people from their birthplaces to China's most economically vibrant cities. By combining an analysis of China's political economy with current scholarship on the role of migration in economic development, China's Great Migration shows how the largest economic migration in the history of the world has led to a bottom-up transformation of China. Gardner draws from his experience as a researcher and journalist working in China to investigate why people chose to migrate and the social and political consequences of their decisions. In the aftermath of China's Cultural Revolution, the collapse of totalitarian government control allowed millions of people to skirt migration restrictions and move to China's growing cities, where they offered a massive pool of labor that propelled industrial development, foreign investment, and urbanization. Struggling to respond to the demands of these migrants, the Chinese government loosened its grip on the economy, strengthening property rights and allowing migrants to employ themselves and each other, spurring the Chinese economic miracle. More than simply a narrative of economic progress, China's Great Migration tells the human story of China's transformation, featuring interviews with the men and women whose way of life has been remade. In its pages, readers will learn about the rebirth of a country and millions of lives changed, hear what migration can tell us about the future of China, and discover what China's development can teach the rest of the world about the role of market liberalization and economic migration in fighting poverty and creating prosperity.
Book Synopsis Social Integration of Rural-Urban Migrants in China by : Zhongshan E. T. Al YUE

This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on rural-urban migrants in China. They are one of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in the country but are essential to the country's industrialization and urbanization. Integration of these migrants into urban societies is an urgent issue facing Chinese policy makers. The book provides an updated, systematic, empirically rich, and multifaceted analysis of migrant integration, its determinants and consequences in China. It integrates insights from the perspective of sociology, population studies, social psychology, and public health to help us understand how and why migrants integrate, the role of migrant networks in social integration, and the relationship between integration of migrants and their mental health and settlement intentions.

Book Synopsis Rural-Urban Migrants in China by : Yan Li
Download or read book Rural-Urban Migrants in China written by Yan Li and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is experiencing a dramatically increasing process of rural-urban migration, which is almost parallel with the phenomenal economic growth and development in China in the last decades. Given the massive scale of rural-urban migration in China, the health services access and health constraints not only matter to rural-urban migrants but also have important implications for broad public health concerns. However, this issue has not been paid enough attention in academic research. While the literature focuses on describing the demographic trends and economic effects of rural-urban migration, very little in-depth research has been done on migrant health and the constrained access to health services among migrants in urban China. This study focuses on the multifaceted reality of health constraints and health services access among migrants by originally exploring the social strata, social networks, and the understanding of health and health services among migrants. Furthermore, this study investigates the health constraints and health services access of rural-urban migrants in the absence of equal social protection by the government.

Book Synopsis Rural-Urban Migration and Agro-Technological Change in Post-Reform China by : Lena Kaufmann
Download or read book Rural-Urban Migration and Agro-Technological Change in Post-Reform China written by Lena Kaufmann and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-19 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do rural Chinese households deal with the conflicting pressures of migrating into cities to work as well as staying at home to preserve their fields? This is particularly challenging for rice farmers, because paddy fields have to be cultivated continuously to retain their soil quality and value. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and written sources, this book describes farming households' strategic solutions to this predicament. It shows how, in light of rural-urban migration and agro-technological change, they manage to sustain both migration and farming. It innovatively conceives rural households as part of a larger farming community of practice that spans both staying and migrating household members and their material world. Focusing on one exemplary resource - paddy fields - it argues that socio-technical resources are key factors in understanding migration flows and migrant-home relations. Overall, this book provides rare insights into the rural side of migration and farmers' knowledge and agency.
Book Synopsis Migration and Social Protection in China by : Ingrid Nielsen
Download or read book Migration and Social Protection in China written by Ingrid Nielsen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2008 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has an estimated 120?150 million internal migrants from the countryside living in its cities. These people are the engine that has been driving China's high rate of economic growth. However, until recently, little or no attention has been given to the establishment of a social protection regime for migrant workers. This volume examines the key issues involved in establishing social protection for them, including a critical examination of deficiencies in existing arrangements and an in-depth study of proposals that have been offered for extending social security coverage. Featuring contributions from leading academics outside China who have written on the topic as well as experts from leading Chinese academic institutions such as Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Development Research Center in the State Council, this volume provides a comprehensive account from both inside and outside China.
Book Synopsis Rural-Urban Migration Experiments in China and India by : Grace Huang
Download or read book Rural-Urban Migration Experiments in China and India written by Grace Huang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his classic study, Political Man, Seymour Martin Lipset, advanced an interesting correlation between components of economic development and democracy - with one of those components being that of urbanization. Urbanization is not only critical in a country's development from an agricultural society to an industrial and service society, but also seems correlated towards facilitating a sustainable democracy. Comprising a total of 36.9% of the world population China (19.67%) and India (17.23%) hold our attention because of their growing importance on the international political and economic stage. As the world has entered into a majority urbanized age, these two behemoth countries will soon follow suit. How they proceed is critically important for sustainable progress of the globalized system. Our goal in this paper is to examine these countries' respective experiments in absorbing rural populations in hopes of better understanding how the practice of citizenship is improved or undermined in this process. China, an authoritarian country, is gradually liberalizing economic policies as well as some limited liberalization in political participation while India, a liberal democracy, is gradually tightening control by maturing legislation and empowering decentralized authority. This comparison is born in the belief that new questions and perspectives can be garnered, which can further inform the study of the cases individually by observing how these two countries, being polar in many ways, are addressing many similar problems and gravitating towards similar policy. In particular, we have found tentative evidence that Indian rural citizens have a better chance to affect change than their Chinese rural counterparts. However, this statement must be greatly qualified. For the majority of migrants in both countries, exercise of citizenship is a mute point. The Chinese government appropriates peasant lands without hesitation and the Indian government will obliviously clear slum areas for new infrastructure projects. The most successful migrants - and they are in the extreme minority - are the ones who have the best chance of affecting change. We are seeing that this group in India is able to affect political change that not only sets precedents for others to attain similar rights but also sets forth change that has nationwide implications. The successful Chinese migrant, by contrast, only serves to reproduce and exacerbate the inequalities that now exist between urbanites and ruralites because of 1) a certain institutional mechanism in place called the hukou (or household registration system), which grants unequal privileges to urban and rural citizens and 2) the introduction of markets, which has served to commodify citizenship - rich rural migrants can buy their way into holding an urban hukou without improving the lot of migrants in general. Those familiar with the China-India comparison literature will know that China outpaces India on many measures, such as household savings, female literacy, luring foreign investors, and modernizing its cities. There nevertheless has been a growing sub literature (Huang 2003; Kohli 2004; and Friedman and Gilley 2005) that has sought to challenge the overall assessment of “China is a success/India is a failure.” This paper complements this sub literature by comparing the plight of rural migrants in their quest not only for a better economic life but a political one, too.
