Summary
China’s 1990 census reveals migration patterns and migrant demographics. As market reforms weaken the household registration system, the study examines the impacts of a growing floating population on urban areas.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Sociology
- Economics
Context:
- Analyzes China's 1990 census data for migration insights.
- Examines the weakening of the household registration system due to market economy reforms.
- Investigates the demographic characteristics and motivations of internal migrants.
Purpose:
- To understand inter- and intra-provincial migration patterns in China.
- To assess the social and economic consequences of the large floating population in urban centers.
- To provide empirical evidence on migration dynamics in a transitional economy.
Summary:
- The study details migration streams, migrant demographics, and reasons for migration using the 1990 census.
- It highlights the diminishing role of the household registration system amidst economic liberalization.
- The research addresses the significant social and economic effects of the urban floating population.
Impact:
- Provides a baseline understanding of migration in China during economic transition.
- Informs policy decisions regarding population mobility and urban development.
- Contributes to the study of demographic shifts and their societal implications.

01:56Gastrulation
Gastrulation establishes the three primary tissues of an embryo: the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. This developmental process relies on a series of intricate cellular movements, which in humans transforms a flat, “bilaminar disc” composed of two cell sheets into a three-tiered structure. In the resulting embryo, the endoderm serves as the bottom layer, and stacked directly above it is the intermediate mesoderm, and then the uppermost ectoderm. Respectively, these tissue strata will form...
01:09Cell Migration
Cell migration, the process by which cells move from one location to another, is essential for the proper development and viability of organisms throughout their life. When cells are not able to migrate properly to their ordained locations, various disorders may occur. For example, disruption in cell migration causes chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.
00:53Migration
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
01:07Speciation Rates
Speciation can proceed at markedly different rates, and evolutionary biologists commonly describe these differences through the models of gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. Both patterns explain how new species arise, but they differ in the tempo and continuity of evolutionary change. In both cases, evolutionary change arises from heritable variation within populations, with natural selection often shaping traits that improve survival and reproduction under specific environmental conditions.
02:39Gene Flow
Gene flow is the transfer of genes among populations, resulting from either the dispersal of gametes or from the migration of individuals.
01:21Chemotaxis and Direction of Cell Migration
Cells can detect chemical cues in their environment and reorganize the cytoskeleton to migrate toward them or away from them. This directional migration, called chemotaxis, is essential during embryogenesis and development, immune response, tissue repair and regeneration, and reproduction. These chemical cues can either attract or repel the cell's movement. For example, axon development is determined by a combination of chemoattractants and chemorepellents that direct the growing axon towards...
