Topic 48 Floating Population of ElevenProvincial Regions
Floating population draws more attentionnowadays.
According to the chart, Guangdong province is of thelargest floating
population among these provincialregions.
Tianjin, Jiangxi, and Chongqing have a relativelysmall quantity.
What causes the difference?
The reasons may be various.
Firstly, the economic factor plays a dominating role.
From this chart, Guangdong, a leading region economically among all these,
is of a floatingpopulation larger than the sum of Tianjin, Jiangxi, and
Chongqing’s.
To be more specific, compared with the other provincial regions, Guangdong
is a place ofmanufacture, which, to a high degree, is labor-intensive.
In addition, it might be related to the geographic features and land area
of a certain region,
which affect traffic possibility and labor demand volume.
Guangdong is a case in point again,
since it has better transportation situation and is bigger geographically
compared to the restregions here in the graph.
Whatever the reason, the floating has caused many a new issue, not only to
floatingindividuals, but to the source and target regions:
How to keep the family life normal and stable?
How to take care of the “left-behind children”?
How to protect the rights of the rural laborers now in urban areas?
How to settle the swelling population in cities?
These have become a social issue asking for urgent solution. |
