Rights of migrant minors

According to a demographic survey conducted by the Guangdong provincial bureau of statistics, the migrant population in the province in South China aged below 17 was 4.47 million by the end of 2013, 21.8 percent of the province's population in the same age bracket.

Guangdong is an attractive destination for migrant workers, especially younger ones, who are more inclined than the older generation to raise their children in the places where they work.

There is no difference between these migrant minors and local non-adults, except they lack a local household registration, or hukou.
