Urbanization Of Rural Migrant Workers In China

China’s proportion of urban population to total population in2011was morethan50%for the first time, which means that for thousands of years urban and ruralpopulation structure in predominance has undergone tremendous changes andurbanization development level has achieved remarkable results. With the expansionof the scale of cities and improvement in quality, urbanization has become a newengine to promote economic and social development after the industrialization.However, in more than600million of the urban population, it contains not onlylandless peasants who settle in cities but hardly bear the high cost of living, but alsothose amphibious personnel who work in the cities but still occupy arable land andhomestead. And a large population of these groups greatly reduces the real qualityand level of urbanization. Because these migrates not really achieve citizenization,they can’t equally share the same rights with the citizens, such as housing,employment, education, social security benefits. They are actually in incomeuncertainty, employment instability and life instability "three uncertain" state.Rural population urbanization is the important content of urbanization. Therefore,we can not only pay attention to the expansion of the scale of city and urban functionperfect in the process of urbanization, but should do more to improve thedevelopment of migrant workers who are the major force prosperity and promotingthe city construction. The problems of marginalization, impoverishment, homelessand the isolation and oppositon between city residents and migrant workers havealready lead to serious impact on the city development of harmonious society andChina’s urbanization process. Therefore, properly manage the problems of ruralmigrant workers and realize the urbanization of rural migrant workers become the keyto eventually solve the problem of "agriculture, countryside and farmers" and boostthe harmonious development between urban and rural areas, but also can acceleratethe industrialization, the urbanization and modernization of China. Promote the rural migrant workers citizenization has become the core tasks of the "12th Five-Year" ofimproving the quality of China’s urbanization for a long period of time.This article indicating the “semi-urban” ultimately comes from the institutionalbarriers in the process of urbanization. The system of macroeconomic policiesincluding urban and rural household system, the employment institution, the socialsecurity system, and education system, mostly tends to benefit urban developmentand urban residents, rural workers being blocked outside the urbanization system.Therefore, based on the perspective of system reform and improvement to solve thetransformation problem of migrant workers in the industrialization becomes a majorissue in economic development in the new era, but it is also the starting point andend point of this study.On the base of summarizing and concluding relevant theories, this paper willgive an objective description of reality characteristics plight of migrant workers.Withthe support of first-hand data from questionnaire results, the author makes anempirical analysis of the city’s migrant workers surveyed,for havingin-depth understanding and analysis of real institutional barriers and micro-factorsthat affect the migrant workers.Cobining China’s existing migrant workers publicreform practice patterns and outcomes, this paper designs a path for advancing thedevelopment of the migrant workers, named as the progressive type of incentivesystem reform model. Within the framework of the overall objective and path,thepaper proposes institution improvement and measures to improve the process ofmigrant workers.
