"One consequence of economic reform in China has been the greatly accelerated migration of labour from rural areas to cities. Estimates suggest an annual migrant labour flow of around 50-60 million people, of whom 10-15 million have settled permanently in cities. This article surveys the information that has become available from a number of population and labour surveys. It covers the volume, spatial and temporal dimension of rural-to-urban migration, the characteristics of migrant labourers, the determinants of migration and the impact of migration on China's rural and urban economy."
中国经济改革的一个后果是劳动力从农村地区向城市的迁移大大加速。据估计，每年的农民工流动量约为5000万至6000万人，其中1000万至1500万人已在城市永久定居。本文调查了从一些人口和劳动力调查中获得的信息。它涵盖了农村向城市迁移的规模、空间和时间维度、农民工的特征、迁移的决定因素以及迁移对中国农村和城市经济的影响。
