This dissertation examines the integration of rural-to-urban migrant workers in the People's Republic of China through the lens of rural factors. Although there is a commonly held belief that migrants' marginalization in the cities is a result of urban policies which exclude them from urban society in general and urban public services specifically, the dissertation argues that rural factors such as land rights play a role in migrants' marginalization by perpetuating incentives for migrants to maintain contact with the rural areas. Based on thirteen months of fieldwork in China, the dissertation uses survey data and interviews with migrant workers, rural workers, government officials, and other experts to support the argument that rural factors influence migrant integration in China. The dissertation goes on to argue that the effects of rural factors in conjunction with policy variation across cities has important consequences for recent policy proposals regarding urbanization. Finally, the dissertation explores the question of citizenship in the Chinese context, arguing that while rural policies have consequences for the prospects for active citizenship in urban areas, new technologies offer important new ways for marginalized people to engage their communities.

This book focuses on rural-urban migrants in China. They are one of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in the country but are essential to the country's industrialization and urbanization. Integration of these migrants into urban societies is an urgent issue facing Chinese policy makers. The book provides an updated, systematic, empirically rich, and multifaceted analysis of migrant integration, its determinants and consequences in China. It integrates insights from the perspective of sociology, population studies, social psychology, and public health to help us understand how and why migrants integrate, the role of migrant networks in social integration, and the relationship between integration of migrants and their mental health and settlement intentions.

This book attempts to document and analyse the complicated role new media play in the adaptation and integration of China’s new generation of migrant workers. By analysing the interviews and observations of more than 500 migrant workers under the age of 25 between 2010 and 2015, the author tries to understand how new media shape the experiences of this significant group of people at different stages of their lives. This study profiles the daily life of this new generation of migrant workers and examines the intricate connections between media and the reconstruction of migrant workers’ identity, as well as their urban life adaptation and social inclusion. Not only is their interaction with new media a key factor in decisions to migrate to the city in the first place, but it continues to play a crucial role in how their outlook on life, sense of identity, lifestyle, personal relationships, and aspirations change as they navigate their new environment. These findings reveal the impact of new media on China’s accelerating urbanization and modernization. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary China studies, and those who are interested in the urbanization of China in general.

After millions of migrants moved from China’s countryside into its sprawling cities a unique kind of ‘informal’ urban enclave was born – ‘villages in the city’. Like the shanties and favelas before them elsewhere, there has been huge pressure to redevelop these blemishes to the urban face of China’s economic vision. Unlike most developing countries, however, these are not squatter settlements but owner-occupied settlements developed semi-formally by ex-farmers turned small-developers and landlords who rent shockingly high-density rooms to rural migrants, who can outnumber their landlord villagers. A strong state, matched with well-organised landlords collectively represented through joint-stock companies, has meant that it has been relatively easy to grow the city through demolition of these soft migrant enclaves. The lives of the displaced migrants then enter a transient phase from an informal to a formal urbanity. This book looks at migrants and their enclave ‘villages in the city’ and reveals the characteristics and changes in migrants’ livelihoods and living places. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the book analyses how living in the city transforms and changes rural migrant households, and explores the social lives and micro economies of migrant neighbourhoods. It goes on to discuss changing housing and social conditions and spatial changes in the urban villages of major Chinese cities, as well as looking into transient urbanism and examining the consequences of redevelopment and upgrading of the ‘villages in the city’; in particular, the planning, regeneration, politics of development, and socio-economic implications of these immense social, economic and physical upheavals.

Using data from a 2011 national household survey, this paper examines the factors shaping urban residents' prejudice toward rural-to-urban migrants and the impacts of prejudice on rural migrants' integration into urban communities. The results show that urban residents with higher education and household income report stronger prejudice. Also, urban residents with urban hukou at birth, are more prejudiced toward rural migrants. Given that hukou status at birth is tied to the parental hukou status, this result implies that prejudice can transfer across generations. With regards to the impacts on rural migrants' integration, prejudice reduces their perceived social standing and increases the number of livelihood problems encountered. On the other hand, prejudice is associated with stronger self-identification as an urbanite and more willingness to interact with urban residents. There are two possible explanations. First, in a prejudicial society, there may exist a strong negative connotation associated with the identity as a ruralite, which causes rural migrants not to rather consider themselves as urbanites. Second, since urban residents of high socio-economic status report stronger prejudice, rural migrants may want to network with those urban residents, who can provide assistance in job search and access to government resources.

Problems with urbanization in China are becoming more pressing. For decades, the government has followed the unsustainable course of first restricting rural-urban migration and then excluding rural migrants from public services in an attempt to prevent chaos in cities. With changes in the macroeconomy and migration patterns in the twenty-first century, this strategy no longer makes social or economic sense. As a result, there has been a major reorientation of policy goal in the past few years toward making temporary rural migrants into permanent urban citizens. This dissertation examines the factors that influence migration decisions, experiences, and outcomes from the perspectives of rural migrant households in this time of "people-centered" urbanization. It builds on the body of literature that sees internal migrants in developing countries as going through a similar process of adaptation and assimilation against structural barriers. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods of inquiry, I construct an explanatory framework for settlement intention, housing ownership, and access to education. The findings demonstrate the critical importance of non-economic considerations when family members are involved. Using the case study of one of the least developed provinces, I show the irreversibility of the urbanization process and the imperative to expand economic development to include equity goals. This dissertation contends that because both the state and migrant households in lower-tier cities have fewer choices, resources, and opportunities, dispersing migration from mega-cities as the central government is doing right now does not address the problems of poverty and exclusion among rural migrants and therefore does not constitute people-centered or high-quality urbanization as it is so proclaimed. Herein lies the dilemma. Provincial capitals and major prefectures in the less developed interior are - in a manner of speaking - the "last stop on this train", where burden-shifting is no longer viable. As such, these cities should be equally important as sites of equitable urbanization. Furthermore, their development should serve to free up mobility so that migrants have more options about where to go rather than deter it.

This open access book explores new research directions in social inequality and urban segregation. With the goal of fostering an ongoing dialogue between scholars in Europe and China, it brings together an impressive team of international researchers to shed light on the entwined processes of inequality and segregation, and the implications for urban development. Through a rich collection of empirical studies at the city, regional and national levels, the book explores the impact of migration on cities, the related problems of social and spatial segregation, and the ramifications for policy reform. While the literature on both segregation and inequality has traditionally been dominated by European and North American studies, there is growing interest in these issues in the Chinese context. Economic liberalization, rapid industrial restructuring, the enormous growth of cities, and internal migration, have all reshaped the country profoundly. What have we learned from the European and North American experience of segregation and inequality, and what insights can be gleaned to inform the bourgeoning interest in these issues in the Chinese context? How is China different, both in terms of the nature and the consequences of segregation inequality, and what are the implications for future research and policy? Given the continued rise of China’s significance in the world, and its recent declaration of war on poverty, this book offers a timely contribution to scholarship, identifying the core insights to be learned from existing research, and providing important guidance on future directions for policy makers and researchers.

This study examines the changing effects of labor migration on the countryside of post-Mao China. Most of the changes are occurring because the migrants send money home and return to their villages for visits or to resettle. The return flows of money, people and information affects rural inequalities, rural spending patterns, agriculture, family relationships, the position of women, and the interactions between villagers and officials. Importantly, some returned migrants even create businesses at home. The book is based on in-depth fieldwork in the Chinese countryside, and it draws comparisons with migration and rural development in other countries.
