China: Number of Migrant Workers (YoY)

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 moving to urban areas for work. It is an important metric for understanding labor migration dynamics, urbanization trends, and labor supply in the secondary and tertiary sectors. An increase in the annual growth rate of migrant workers typically reflects robust urban job creation and economic opportunities, while a decline may indicate reduced labor demand or economic challenges in urban areas.
