[Migration patterns on the Chinese mainland after the mid-1980s].

Abstract

"This paper studies the inter- and intra-provincial migration patterns, major streams, the demographic characteristics of migrants and their reasons based on the 1990 100% China census. Under the government efforts [to move] to a market economy, the household registration system gradually loses its function. The social and economic impacts of [the] significant size of floating population [in] cities are addressed." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
