Since 30-year reform and open policy, the division of rural and urban labor market has been changed basically and the population floating rage also increased largely. However, such a large scale labor force transfer from countryside to city doesn't shorten the difference between the city and countryside' revenue. The limitation to population movements such as the "duality labor market" caused by the Chinese characterized laborer problems and the household registration management system still exist.According to the mature experiences of marketing country, the laborer transferring from the countryside to the non-agriculture is an important means in reducing the city and countryside' difference. It has two approaches, the first is local transfer and the second is developed country transfer. Based on the present reality and the future trend, the modernized city will be the mainly region of laborer transfer. Sustainable development strategy research team of CAS has submitted "the China's sustainable development stratagem reports of 2005" which points that the city plan is the ultimately way in solving the "Three agricultural issues". If we go ahead in this way, until 2020 we will transfer around three hundreds million from countryside, which is unprecedented and might bring out many new problems. Therefore, it should be highly recognized by both officers and theory researchers.In recent years, on account of the city industry upgrading and the development strategy of City led the rural areas, industry nurturing agriculture, the urbanization rate increases by 1 percentage per year. Moreover, according to the reasonable programming and multifarious methods, the regional government leads the margin laborer in the countryside to the rich, tries to improve the work condition, and promote the fluxion of labor force in an order. Meanwhile, we should know that the barrier of the labor force fluxion which focuses on the management of floating population and Service system seriously lagged behind still exist and should be improved. For instance, the employment of floating population, family education, medical treatment, social security and also family planning can't be protected. Consequently, it restricts the reasonable population distribution and orderly floating and the unity of city and countryside.In the process of Chinese market-oriented economy, floating population problem influences the geographical allocation of labor resources and the urbanization course of China, and finally the economic rise of the whole country. Thereby, we need to searching about the restrict factor of the labor force floating, and combining the population floating and the sustainable development organically, which is just the purpose and significance of this article.This article utilizes the dialectical materialism and the historical materialism for direction, integrating politics, sociology, psychics, system economics and other theoretic method, which starts from the macroscopically point of view, and implements to the microcosmic action, pays great importance to Investigation and research, integrates Chinese realities, makes a systemic research on Chinese population floating and transfer of labor force. The specifically theory and method as below:The first is the unity of history and logistic. In the process of comprehending evolvement of the regime and change of the floating population, the first method we should use is the unification of history and logistic. We should find out the theory described with Self-consistent logic in the changing process of history, and should not goes against history in the process of analyzing the theory. Social system such as the formation of the household registration system, strengthening, and relaxation of the reform is an important system changes, which has obvious route to depend on. Understanding of the process, the relevant systems affecting each other, and common causes of the changes, the unity of history and logic must be followed, and it's the insurmountable method.The second is the combination of qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative approach is the most important one among these methods and they are the essential tools for understanding the internal links between objects and logic reasoning. However, qualitative analysis is not enough, since it cannot usually generate detailed and specific conclusions, and therefore, quantitative method is used frequently throughout the whole essay, in order to provide more detailed and specific data supporting for the argumentation process. Reliable data is always a solid bridge which makes close connections between the theories and practices.The third is the modeling analysis method. Within economy analysis, modeling analysis is an important methodology of theoretic framework construction and argument analysis basis by simplifying and abstracting the real world. In this essay, because of the limitations of data provided by national statistic system, we could only identify the modeling by constructing theoretic framework, logic analysis, questionnaires, and other social research modeling.The fourth is the integration of criterion and demonstration. In this paper, we always run through both standardized analysis and empirical analysis. The analysis of theoretical model uses the analysis of criterion mainly, but also by a large number of empirical means such as social surveys and analysis of typical cases to verify and supplement.This article is composed by six chapters including introduction, getting along with the way of "Background Analysis→Framework→Empirical Study Review→Conclusions". Chapter 1, introduction, puts forward the question about the purpose of the study, and also points out the basic elements like the significance, method, and innovative framework of the article. Chapter 2, inheriting the past, bring forward the theory of population floating with Chinese characteristics based on the sustainable development, which constitutes the basic thesis of the entire theoretical framework. Chapter 3 studies the ancient and modern urban farmers experiences, lessons and inspiration synthetically. Chapter 4 investigates the problems of migrant workers with Chinese characteristics The Migrant workers issue is the distinct characteristic of population floating and one of the most important current Chinese conditions, which leads this paper to deep research. Chapter 5 makes a research on China's household registration management system, which is the most important institutional root of the current status of China's population. And it's also the system base of migrant workers problems, and the inevitable and indispensable part for reading the population floating with Chinese characteristics. The study and research of this issue provides the transition and basis for the whole essay to settle in macroeconomic policies. The final chapter is the conclusions.The creative aspects of the thesis are represented as follows:Firstly, traditional development economics by the type of economic research is mainly a market economy country type, and the basic conclusions of the economics theories are also based on the logic of market economics. However, for China, a country which is in transition and with special characteristics, it is not so easy to follow the examples of other country's to investigate the issues of population floating and laborer transfer, which enriches and develops the development economics. This essay, based on development economics theories and the methodology of labor economics, under the frame of sustainable growth, discusses the Chinese characterized population floating mechanism, which will not only demonstrate the new development of development economics, but also complete and improve the Chinese characterized labor theories. Secondly, due to the limitation of the data, previous academic researches were mainly based on normative analysis and qualitative analysis to obtain the results and conclusion. Unlike the previous ones, this essay which emphases more on quantitative and empirical analysis uses plenty of data, questionnaires and surveys, and typical surveys in typical regions, in order to reach more convincing and examinable conclusion, especially for the studies of the issues of migrant workers and the household registration system.Thirdly, the household registration issue is the basic reason and system root of the populationfloating with Chinese characteristics, but it also played a most important role in the Chinese history. Therefore, how to fully understand and grasp this issue is the foundation and premise to deal with population floating with Chinese characteristics correctly. This thesis starts with the history of the household registration system, and tries to make a comprehensive and systematic analysis on the Chinese household registration management system and development mechanism.The disadvantage of this study lies in the lack of deep research of migrant workers and the development trends. The migrant worker, which evolves constantly, is associated with China's reform and open policy. This paper pays more macro-level attention to the issue of migrant workers, which uses the macro-and micro-level of integration, but it lacks some research on the acts of migrant workers from the micro perspective, and the study of individual migrant worker and the types of personal observation is also not enough. Of course, this is also the important area of the migrant workers issue which needs to be studied and researched deeply.
