Abstract

With the rapid development of urbanization in china, the probability of depression among MC and LBC remains increasing. The prior study indicates that migration was main factor for Children's depression. Based on the three cases, the author concludes the lack of social capital (family care, friendship and teacher's care) might be associated with an increased risk of depression in MC and LBC in china. Not only there are lower social capitals, but also there are long learning hours, some negative life events and the exam stress.
