Abstract

This study applies the comprehensive wealth framework (CWF) to more fully assess the regional impacts of changes in the distribution of migrant workers in the recent urbanisation of China. The analysis indicates that changes in the distribution of migrant labourers have contributed to sustaining or increasing GDP growth rates and the level of human capital in both central and western regions. However, there is evidence that social and political capital may have declined along with the inflow of the mobile labour force and some lowered local government investments. From the perspective of the CWF, this study concludes that the impacts of distributional changes on regional comprehensive wealth is uncertain, potentially reducing the comprehensive wealth of the region.

中国城市化中农民工分布的变化与综合财富的含义

本研究运用综合财富框架(CWF)更全面地评估了中国城市化进程中农民工分布变化的区域影响。分析表明，农民工分布的变化有助于维持或提高中西部地区的GDP增长率和人力资本水平。然而，有证据表明，随着流动劳动力的流入和地方政府投资的减少，社会和政治资本可能已经下降。从CWF的角度来看，本研究认为分配变化对区域综合财富的影响是不确定的，可能会降低区域的综合财富。

期刊介绍： China Report promotes the free expression and discussion of different ideas, approaches and viewpoints which assist a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours. A quarterly journal of the Institute of Chinese Studies, it attempts to provide a fresh approach which goes beyond the strictly utilitarian area studies without becoming antiquarian. Launched in 1964, China Report has, over the years, widened its interests and aims and transformed itself into a scholarly journal that seeks a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours - particularly their cultures, their development and their relations with China. It is an indispensable source of information on China, its society and culture.
