China: Number of Migrant Workers

Macro

Description

China Number of Migrant Workers is compiled and published by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China. This indicator measures the number of migrant workers, primarily those from rural areas seeking employment in urban settings. It serves as an important metric for understanding the dynamics of labor migration, urbanization trends, and the availability of labor force in the secondary and tertiary sectors. An increase in the number of migrant workers typically reflects robust urban job creation and economic opportunities, while a decline may suggest reduced demand for labor or economic challenges in urban areas.
