Abstract

China has had considerable economic growth over the decades with the rapid increase of the population, especially in those big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and so on. Since China’s implementation of the reform and opening policy in 1978, more and more people were attracted by metropolises and chose to migrate to those cities to seek better wages and personal development. As a result, urban-rural migration has become more and more popular, which has had a significant impact. This paper will focus on the effects of internal mobility in China and its influences on economic growth. We will mainly study the long-term effect of population mobility (urban-to-rural) by figuring out how factors like the empty nest and aging population, the hukou system, education, and remittances will be influenced by urban-rural migration. In addition, we will compare the differences between domestic and foreign cases in terms of the migration issue. From our perspective, migration from rural to urban areas in China will generate positive effects in the short term, while in the long term, the results stay elusive.
