Abstract

Inter-regional labor migration in China has been increasing since the beginning of the 1990s and reached 147 million people by 2005. Its share of the total population was about 10 percent. Until now, labor transfer from rural to urban areas has supported China’s economic growth by supplying cheap labor. It is important to investigate what factors have affected labor migration for a better understanding of China’s growth. These factors include changes in each region’s labor market and industrial structure, level of development, and personal attributes of migrant labor such as age and educational level.
