Not only are rural mi- grants restricted in obtaining “good” jobs in cities, but also they have no access to social benefits including unemployment, health, and pension insurance/benefits, all of which are available to their urban counterparts (Meng and Zhang, 2001; Du et al., 2006).
Nevertheless, many previous studies have documented that migrants are more likely to be hired in 3-D (dirty, dangerous, and demeaning) occupations (Zhao, 2000; Meng, 2000; and Meng and Zhang, 2001).
China has had segregated rural and urban labour markets since the early 1950s, whereby individuals born in rural areas were restricted from moving to cities.3 This segregation was mainly implemented through the Household Registration System (Hukou System), which artificially divides people into agricultural and non-agricultural populations (Meng, 2000).Chinese economic reform began in the agriculture sector at the end of the 1970s.
It was during this period that Hukou system gradually lost its effectiveness in restricting rural workers from moving to cities to work (Meng, 2000; Zhao, 1999, 2000, and 2005; Cai et al., 2001; ).
By 2009 there were 150 million rural migrants working in urban cities, accounting for around one third of the urban labour force.Although this rural-urban migration has contributed greatly to Chinese eco- nomic growth (Woo, 1998; Meng, 2000; Zhao, 2003; Gong et al, 2008), there have been heated debates about the extent to which rural migrants should be allowed to work in cities, and whether to provide them with the same rights as urban residents to labour market access.
