Beijing migrant workers in spotlight

Beijing's migrant population will be better managed and provided with more services as part of efforts to ensure a safe Olympic Games, Wang Anshun, the city's deputy Party chief, said yesterday.

"With the rapid increase in the number of migrants, how to manage and serve them has become a key issue in the city's development and in the provision of a safe Games," Wang said at a national security working conference in Guangzhou.

To achieve its goal, the government must have a full picture of the situation, he said.
