SOCIOECONOMIC DISPARITY AND CHINESE MIGRATION FLOW: INTERPRETATION OF CONTEMPORARY EVENTS ACCORDING TO CLASSICS OF DEVELOPMENT

ABSTRACT This research aims to analyze the evolution of Chinese migration, focusing on the worsening distribution of income, the concentration of investments and planning for the development of inland China, being grounded, in most cases, by the classical thinkers of development. It could be seen that provinces with larger investments are the most sought after by migrants who are in the search of better opportunities. The concentration of urbanization in the coastal region and regional inequalities in China may be mitigated through a regional development focused on disadvantaged provinces, causing workers seek opportunities in their own provinces.

摘要：本研究旨在剖析中国人口迁移的演化历程，重点聚焦于收入分配差距持续拉大、投资集聚现象以及内陆地区发展规划制定；研究在多数情形下以经典发展理论为核心支撑。研究发现，投资规模较大的省份最受寻求优质发展机遇的流动人口青睐。通过实施面向欠发达省份的区域发展战略，可有效缓解中国沿海地区城镇化过度集聚以及区域发展失衡问题，促使劳动力回流至原籍省份就地寻求发展机遇。
