Migrant workers should not still be living in rural-urban twilight zone

ACCORDING TO MEDIA REPORTS, China's migrant population increased from 6.57 million in 1982 to 244 million in 2017. After 40 years of reform and opening-up, the floating population should no longer have to exist in a state of semi-urbanization. Gmw.cn comments:

Speaking at a recent forum, Wang Pei'an, deputy director of the Population, Resources and Environment Commission of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said that China's migrant workers have contributed to 20 to 30 percent of China's GDP over the past four decades. The Pearl River Delta, the region with the largest population of migrant workers, has experienced the fastest economic growth in China, he added.

People's free mobility is one of the most important experiences of reform and opening-up as well as the natural right of modern citizens. But the large-scale migrant population still faces many difficulties.
