Population and internal migration in North Korea since 2000
The population and internal migration of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea were studied based on the data from the country’s latest census conducted in 2008. The population exhibited some features and patterns that are more similar to a developed than a developing economy: a high proportion of the population was urban (over 60 percent); there was nearly 100 percent school attendance and an extremely high adult literacy; fertility was at t…
Changing Patterns of the Floating Population in China, 2000-2010
Using data from the 2000 and 2010 Chinese population censuses and applying a consistent definition of migration, we examine changing patterns of China's floating population during 2000-2010. During the first decade of the twenty-first century, there have been significant changes in China's floating population, as reflected in a continuing growth of interprovincial floating population and the growth of the floating population in China's western an…
Migration and Remittances
This paper examines patterns of remittances among migrants from Guizhou province of China. Our research is motivated by three lines of theoretical arguments, namely the new economics of migration, a translocal perspective linking remittances and development, and the culture of remittances. Taking individual, household, and village-level characteristics into account, we estimated multilevel logistic models of the decision to remit and multilevel m…
Examining cross‐border marriages in Hong Kong since its return to China in 1997
With increasing economic integration and social interactions between Hong Kong and Mainland China, cross‐border marriages between the two have increased substantially, while the sex ratio of the 25–44 age group has decreased to less than one. The influx of Mainland brides, together with ever‐increasing unmarried women in Hong Kong, have put increased pressure on its social and welfare services, and reducing barriers for Hong Kong men seeking Hong…
China's Floating Population
This article uses tabulations from the 2000 Population Census of China along with a micro-level data sample from the census to provide a picture of China's floating population: migrants without local household registration (hukou), a status resulting in significant social and economic disadvantages. By 2000, the size of China's floating population had grown to nearly 79 million, if that category is defined as migrants who moved between provinces …
Social-Capital Mobilization and Income Returns to Entrepreneurship
Temporary labor migration in developing countries is an important urban-rural linkage that has a potential impact on rural development. According to the new economies of labor migration, it is often a strategy used by families with small farms to acquire investment capital for future business formation. In this paper, I argue further that human-capital accretion during migration reinforces the mobilization of local social capital, which in turn e…
Urban Labour-Force Experience as a Determinant of Rural Occupation Change
An integrated approach to temporary migration in developing countries is proposed by linking past urban labour-force experience to postreturn entrepreneurial activities. The central argument is that labour migration is a family strategy to acquire both physical and human capital for a future technological transformation. On the basis of an in-depth survey of returned migrants that was conducted in rural China, I focus on the explanation of return…
