Migration Patterns and Intentions of Floating Population in Transitional China

The book "Migration Patterns and Intentions of Floating Population in Transitional China" offers a comprehensive analysis of internal migration and migration intentions in China. It examines the topic from various perspectives, including individual, urban, and provincial levels. Since the 1990s, rapid urbanization in China has led to significant interregional migration, which has not only altered the economic geography but also the population distribution of the country. The so-called "floating population," who live and work in destination cities without local Hukou, has become an important social issue in recent decades. The book employs extensive data analyses, including national census data and survey data, to investigate the spatial patterns and influencing factors of migration. The findings provide valuable policy implications for urban governance and enhance the understanding of spatial demographics in China.
