Experts say migrant workers have become the world's largest pendulum-type immigrant

China News agency, Beijing, May 11 (reporter Nanyulin) academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, academic advisor Sanders of China Urban Planning and Design Research institute, said in the latest "China Urban Development Report" that more than 100 million Chinese farmers working in cities every year have become the world's largest "pendulum-type immigrants".　　China's large number of migrant workers can not integrate into the city for a long time, becoming a real urban population, which is the main reason for the "quality" of urbanization in China.　　In the more than 30 years of reform and opening-up, with the development of China's urban economic system reform, the reform of the coastal areas, the introduction of foreign capital, the marketization mechanism, the reformation of the land transfer system, the demand of the coastal open cities for the low-cost labor force, attracted a large number of rural surplus labor to coastal cities Sanders said that, according to statistics, since 1996, although China's agricultural surplus labor force of about 150 million per annum, 2000 to 170 million, but most of the flow to the big cities. This "Tide" became the main factor to promote the development of China's urbanization during this period. This trend has not ended until today.　　140 million migrant workers went to cities in 2008. By the beginning of 21st century, China's urban development policy was adjusted to "the coordinated development of small and medium-sized cities and towns". But the development trend of big cities is more and more strong.　　The big city develops fast, the face changes greatly, but the disparity of the rich and poor inside the city expands, the public service level question, the housing problem, the transportation problem, the environment question and so on many exist. Sanders that in the past more than 10 years, relying on "migrant workers into large and medium-sized cities-to provide low-cost labor-coupled with low-cost land-to create GDP increase the urban population-to increase the rate of urbanization," increasingly become China's main route of urbanization.　　Such a path, there are many problems, although there is close to profit, but not conducive to long-term sustainable development. According to statistics, the 2009 National Railway Spring Festival number of 192 million, the number of road travel spring 2.11 billion. Sanders said the path makes the country's 100 million-odd migrant workers in the city become the world's largest "pendulum-type immigrant".　　Every year before and after the Spring Festival, the world's unique "Spring Festival", the country and social resources to bring huge consumption. Sanders said that the 2008 Winter Solstice 2009 Spring, under the influence of the international financial crisis, the export processing industry of China's coastal cities shrank, resulting in more than 10 million migrant workers "unemployment", becoming a serious social problem.　　These issues illustrate the unsustainable and fragile nature of this path. 2008 the national urbanization rate of 45.7%, the rural population is still 720 million. According to Sanders, the number of rural surplus labor in the future is expected to remain at 100 million ~1.5 billion each year. The phenomenon of "unemployment" of peasant workers cannot disappear quickly, and the capacity of large and medium-sized cities can not be greatly improved in future.　　China's urbanization should take the path of Multipath, one of the ways is to actively promote and develop small towns in rural areas, the purpose is to intercept and absorb part of the rural surplus labor, to avoid all or mainly into large and medium-sized cities.
