The Government and Migrant Workers in Transfer of Industry

Abstract

The industry transfer from east region to west region of China has become an inevitable trend of economic development, it need massive agricultural population change to non-agricultural population in China. Based on the redefinition of the citizenization of migrant workers, this article points out that “absence of government” is the reason which leads to a series of relative problems. In order to solve these problems, it needs the government to take measures from the “thought” and “action”. Government in the thought must be clear the rule of macroeconomic regulation and control standards, which is that the social management is more important than the economic intervention. Government must recognize that farmers and citizen have equal status with the corresponding rights, must clear the responsibilities and duties at all levels, and strengthen the central government's capacity of coordination. In order to ensure the rights and interests of migrant workers can be the truth, the government in action must take steps from the political rights, economic rights and social security. These initiatives will play a positive function in accelerating the process of the citizenization of migrant workers, and it will help the industry transfer to west areas from central areas of China.
