3. Some facts about Chinese
China’s economic development and rapid urbanisation have increased the number of people moving within the country, largely from rural areas to towns and cities, in search of job opportunities. De-collectivisation of agriculture in rural areas freed people to seek work farther afield to the cities and newly industrialised areas in the east to work on construction sites or in factories.
As a result of internal migration China’s urban population rose from roughly 170 million in 1978 to 540 million in 2004.
In the late 1990s China’s cities had attracted close to 100 million rural migrants most of whom were short term labourers rather than long term settlers. The number of internal migrants in China is estimated at over one-tenth of China’s population of 1.3 billion. Rural migrants now account for 40 percent of the urban labour force.
