Employment of Chinese Migrant Workers in Off-farm Jobs

摘要：

Since economic reforms began in 1978, Chinas economy has maintained a rapid growth. The flow of rural labor force accounts for a significant part in GDP growth, industrialization, and development of the labor market. However, rural migrant workers havent enjoyed the benefits generated by rapid economic growth. The problems of underemployment, regional imbalance in non-farm employment and various forms of discrimination against migrant workers need to be addressed appropriately. The increasing income gap between urban works and migrant workers can be explained by the low stock human capital of rural labor force, the relatively slow development of the tertiary industry and urbanization. The stable institutionalized expectation plays an important role in the transformation of migrant workers to urban citizens. Otherwise, a higher cost would be paid to Chinas urbanization.
