Migration and social integration in urban China

Yue Zhongshan examines the social integration of rural–urban migrants in China through an empirical, cross-disciplinary study. Drawing on sociology, population studies, social psychology, and public health, the book considers how integration takes shape, what influences it, and what consequences it may have. Migrant networks are one part of the analysis, alongside links between social integration, mental health, and intentions to settle. The subject also connects migrants’ experiences with China’s industrialization and urbanization, placing questions of community and belonging within broader social change. The book presents these issues as both a matter of social research and a concern for Chinese policymakers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Academics and students studying migration, demography, sociology, or Chinese society.
  • Professionals and policymakers interested in rural–urban migrant workers in China.
  • Readers exploring the social dimensions of China’s modernization.

Book overview

This book focuses on rural-urban migrants in China. They are one of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in the country but are essential to the country's industrialization and urbanization. Integration of these migrants into urban societies is an urgent issue facing Chinese policy makers. The book provides an updated, systematic, empirically rich, and multifaceted analysis of migrant integration, its determinants and consequences in China. It integrates insights from the perspective of sociology, population studies, social psychology, and public health to help us understand how and why migrants integrate, the role of migrant networks in social integration, and the relationship between integration of migrants and their mental health and settlement intentions.

Readership: Academics, undergraduate and graduate students, professionals and policy makers interested in social integration of rural-urban migrant workers in China, and China's modernization.
