Abstract

“Migrant workers” is a special concept in the period of China’s economic and social transition which refers to those people registered in rural households as peasants with contracted land but mainly engaged in non-agricultural industries with wages as the main source of income (Central Investigation and Document Drafting Group on the Issue of Migrant Workers: General Report on the Research of Migrant Workers in China, 2008.). New generation industrial workers refer to those registered as rural residents born after the 1980s, aged over 16 years old and mainly engaged in non-agricultural industries in places other than their hometowns. They were born and raised after China’s reform and opening up including the post-80s and post-90s in the intergenerational sense and including the young laborers who grew up in rural areas and worked in cities as well as those young working people growing up with their parents in cities.
