Economic
reform in China has led to migration of people within the world's most
populous nation on a scale never before seen. Since China's new
industrial revolution began in the late 1970s, there has been a flow of
tens of millions (perhaps even hundreds of millions) of surplus rural
labourers and their families moving from rural to urban areas. This
phenomenon has been described in terms of both a blessing for China's
economic development and a threat against its social order. It is the
aim of this short edited volume to look at the different aspects of
internal Chinese migration. This will include a brief introduction to
current research and pointers to the methodological traps and
misunderstandings that can occur in the field. Published
