    Area of Science:

    • Rural Sociology
    • Labor Economics
    • Urban Studies

    Background:

    • Underemployment in rural China creates a surplus labor force.
    • Government policies aim to redirect rural labor but face limitations.
    • Rural areas often lack sufficient alternative employment opportunities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine surplus labor force and migration trends in China.
    • To analyze the impact of rural underemployment on labor mobility.
    • To assess the capacity of urban areas to absorb rural labor.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of government policies on rural labor transfer.
    • Examination of rural-to-urban migration patterns, including seasonal and temporary movements.
    • Assessment of the "floating" population dynamics.

    Main Results:

    • Significant surplus labor exists in rural China due to underemployment.
    • Many rural workers migrate seasonally or establish temporary urban residences.
    • China's cities and towns possess the capacity to absorb millions of rural laborers annually.

    Conclusions:

    • Rural underemployment drives substantial labor migration to urban areas.
    • Urban absorption of rural labor offers mutual benefits to both sending and receiving regions.
    • Effective labor transfer can alleviate rural underemployment and support urban development.
