Keeping kids out of trouble

A report published by the National Health and Family Planning Commission on Wednesday indicates that the migrant population in China reached 247 million in 2015, or 18 percent of its total population.

Such a large floating population has created a series of problems and challenges, such as the huge security concerns stemming from the low senior high school enrollment rate among teenagers left behind by their parents when they move from their rural hometowns to the cities to work.

The most recent statistics from the Supreme People's Court show that in 2013 crimes committed by left-behind children accounted for 70 percent of the country's juvenile delinquency cases, and that the percentage is gradually rising.
