From a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society is the transformation of developing countries are faced with major economic issues. Economic development in developing countries not only are industrialization, urbanization is a process that accompanied many of rural labor transfer from rural to city. Labor mobility prevailing situation in developing countries. Labor mobility in the end of the outflow with the flow of what the economic impact? Labor mobility is the expansion of the outflow with inflow in the income gap is narrowing the income gap? In response to this problem, different schools of economists, from their theoretical basis and the observed facts of experience, put forward a variety of research ideas and methods. At present, almost all of the empirical research to support labor mobility contribute to reducing the urban-rural income gap that the early theoretical analysis for this same argument provides a theoretical support. But in China, labor mobility and urban-rural income gap while expanding the reality of the situation, as well as new theoretical analysis of labor migration and urban-rural income gap is no longer a significant correlation between the results of research, both to the traditional view of the challenges.China's reform and opening-up policy, because of economic growth brought about by changes in industrial structure and institutional constraints to reduce China's rural areas have emerged a large-scale transfer of labor situation. This situation the transfer of rural labor force in general has undergone restorative transfer, slow flows, the rapid expansion, and stable development of four stages. The main flow direction of rural labor to local non-agricultural industries (mainly township enterprises) transfer to the provincial town of transfer, inter-provincial cross-regional transfer of three directions. Most Xiangcheng population migration from agriculture are from out of lower educational level, it is difficult to adapt to technical requirements of a higher job, but their young age structure, level of education vis-a-vis the average level for rural areas is higher of. With the total abolition of agricultural taxes in 2006, as well as the peasant migrant workers employment environment greatly improved, the income of the farmers has been enhanced, but the growth rate was lower than the growth rate of income of urban residents.Essentially, the solution of this problem, the need to take the industrialization and urbanization of the road, reduce the quantity of agricultural labor, and to increase their per capita income. However, this process also by other kinds of harsh conditions. Can think, it is necessary to successfully complete this process, there are three questions that must be addressed are, first, a period of economic restructuring at how to develop labor-intensive economy to expand employment opportunities for non-agricultural industries; two is how the scale of the formation of technology-driven agricultural in order to achieve scale at operating conditions, so that agriculture, especially grain production will be necessary for development; three are migrant workers to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests, foster open and transparent labor market, labor resources to ensure efficient and orderly use.
