Abstract

'After a quarter century of double-digit growth, 135 million rural migrants were living in China's cities by 2007. This massive migration exceeds anything else recorded in human history. Based on new survey data, The Great Migration explores cause and effect while comparing China's restrictive with Indonesia's liberal migration policies. The result is the best book on rural-urban migration thus far.'
