After the industrial revolution, while every country's economic obtains rapid development,the transfer of surplus rural labor to urban areas is not only a common phenomenon but also is a objective necessity. In Chinese cities, because of especial national circumstance, the rural surplus labor only is named "Migrant peasant-workers" rather than citizen.Because of many restrictions of political and economic system, such as household registration system, dual economic structure, and their lack of knowledge and skills, employment of migrant peasant-workers only is informal employment.According to analysis coming from economic view, the reasons of China's urban migrant workers in informal employment are:on the one hand, a large number of enterprises in urban need lots of cheap labor to expand production and lower production costs; the other hand, enhance of agricultural labor productivity and limited arable land have led to that rural surplus labor has been increasing. In a market economy, this phenomenon is the main micro-economic result of voluntary transactions. It is not only reasonable and efficient, but also is conducive to China's economic stability and rapid development.In the past 30 years, this large labor force liberated is the source of power of the economic development and social progress. Combined with the international capital and advanced technologies, Chinese migrant peasant-workers has created the China's miracle of economic development——GDP annual average growth rate of 9.82% and the overall per capita disposable income increased by 31 times.In the future, in order to China's economic development and social progress, government would better make use of China's migrant peasant-workers effectively. The Government should take some effective measures so as to preserve city migrant peasant-workers'legal rights and interests, led its to the healthy development and make full use of their energy for the China's prosperity.
