As a result of its open-door policies and 30 years of reform, China has become the \"world's factory\" and given rise to a new working class of rural migrant workers. This process has underlain a path of (semi-)proletarianization of Chinese peasant-workers: now the second generation is experiencing dagong, working for a boss, in industrialized towns and cities. What is the process of proletarianization of peasant-workers in China today? In what way does the path of proletarianization shape the new Chinese working class? Drawing on workers' narratives and our ethnographic studies in Shenzhen and Dongguan between 2005 and 2008, this study focuses on the subjective experiences of the second generation of dagongmei/zai, female migrant workers/male migrant workers, who have developed new forms of power and resistance unknown to the previous generation of workers. Did the pain and trauma experienced by the first generation of dagong subjects gradually evolve into the anger and resentment that has conditioned the labor strikes and class actions of the second generation? In short, what continuity and change can we observe in the life struggles of this new working class? Is the second generation of dagong subjects compelled to take action as a result of long-endured pain and anger? Self, anger, and collective action among the new working class propel the narrative described in this article.

This paper investigates the effects of the household registration threshold on peasant worker decision-making over acquiring urban hukou using 2258 peasant workers’ data in China. The results demonstrate that the household registration threshold will significantly increase the peasant workers’ willingness to obtain urban hukou, and increase the peasant workers’ probability of acquiring the urban hukou of home province cities. In addition, China’s household registration threshold plays a more significant role in metropolitan cities and eastern cities than in small and medium-sized cities and midwestern cities in terms of its impact on peasant workers’ willingness to acquire urban hukou, and their urban hukou location intention. The degree of social integration’s mediating effect is significant. Firstly, the degree of social integration reduces the positive effect of the household registration threshold for peasant workers acquiring urban hukou. Next, the degree of social integration influences peasant workers choosing urban hukou in the work city. To achieve improvement in the new urbanisation level of the household registration population, it is necessary to promote the integration of peasant workers and residents and decrease the household registration threshold for peasant workers’ work cities.

The key to promoting urbanization in China is to achieve urban integration of migrant peasant workers, and basic public health services may have a potential social impact on the subjective welfare of migrant peasant workers. In this paper, we use data from the China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS) to study the impact of basic public health services on the urban integration of migrant peasant workers. The results show that basic public health services can significantly improve the probability of migrant peasant workers’ urban integration. The conclusions remain robust after mitigating potential endogeneity issues using the propensity score matching method (PSM), the CMP method, and robustness testing by replacing the explanatory variables with the reduced tail treatment. Further research found that the impact of basic public health services on migrant peasant workers’ urban integration is heterogeneous. The urban integration effect of basic public health services is more significant in male, high school and above, migrant peasant workers’ groups. The urban integration effect of basic public health services gradually increases with upgrading of the urban grade at the second-tier city and higher urban levels, and it also plays a vital role in the urban integration of the migrant peasant workers at the third-tier city and lower urban levels. Our findings also provide an evidence-based policy for China to promote equalizing basic public health services and a path to the urbanization of migrant peasant workers.

This article looks at the changing frameworks for the institutional and cultural incorporation of second-generation rural migrants in Shanghai. Beginning in 2008, Shanghai launched a new policy of accepting migrant children into urban public schools at primary and secondary levels. I show that the hukou (household registration) is still a critical social boundary in educational institutions, shaping uneven distribution of educational resources and opportunities, as well as hierarchical recognition of differences between urbanites and migrants. I have coined the term “segmented incorporation” to characterize a new receiving context, in which systematic exclusion has given way to more subtle forms of institutional segmentation which reproduces cultural prejudice and reinforces group boundaries.

This article reveals the malleability of the boundaries between political and analytical categories related to internal migration in China. The author analyses the iterative process of categorisation, which, far from being neutral, settled, and objective, comes within government intervention strategies. Statistical categories, media practices, and the scientific understanding of migration by social sciences all dovetail with each other, showing themselves to be subject to evolving political, economic, and urban landscapes. This paper shows that the categories of spatial mobility do not correspond to those of urban integration, with implications that are not only of an administrative, material, and spatial nature but also concern identity issues.

Based on the big data analysis, this paper, through using the quantile regression method and combining the non-agricultural employment form of selfemployment, carries out an analysis of home-going peasant-workers' decision making about self-employment and different levels of non-agricultural income from the aspects of human capital and so forth. Here are the research conclusions: among the non-agricultural income group, the income of the self-employed is obviously higher than the wage earners; factors like human capital and family characteristics have significantly influenced the probability of choosing self-employment, and non-agricultural training will help workers get access to wage employment; the self-employment choice has different influence on the non-agricultural income at different quantiles, and its impact on the middle and high-income groups is particularly significant; non-agricultural training has a significantly positive impact on all the quantiles of non-agricultural income; and education also has a significant impact on all the quantiles and such an impact shows an increasing trend. Keywords: big data; home-going peasant-workers; self-employment; human capital; quantile regression

There is no clear answer in academic world about whether to establish a social security system for migrant worker, and if doing so, whether it will influence the enterprises-competitiveness. Migrant worker has been contributing a lot for the urban construction, but it is also a vulnerable group, so the research in social security system for migrant worker is an inevitable problem. How to protect and guarantee the interests of the migrant workers become the social problem needed to be solved immediately nowadays. Based on the investigation about the situation of migrant worker’s social insurance in Lanzhou and applying the Logistic regression model to analyze the influence factors of migrant worker’s participation in social insurance in Lanzhou. This article proposes some suggestions about establishing a national electronic information files for migrant workers and transforming of the advertisement methods of the government.

Because of the close relationship between the existence of Chinese peasant workers and state policies, Chinese peasant workers’ citizenship has long been a central problem in the research on this group of people. In previous research, institutional analyses didn’t empirically examine the operation of citizenship, while the empirical investigation of citizen resistance failed to examine the influence of citizenship institutions on peasant workers’ everyday practice. Data from in-depth interviews indicate that relevant citizenship institutions and their changes constitute a part of the peasant-worker labor regime in China, which means that their citizenship has contributed to the long-term existence and the increasing number of this group of workers. First, the citizenship institutions related to peasant workers include differential citizenship, partial citizenship, passive citizenship, and segmented citizenship. Second, these citizenship institutions have shaped their double identities of rural residents and urban guests, which have influenced their motivations and attitudes toward their peasant-worker lifestyle. Finally, the effects of citizenship institutions on peasant workers’ identity, motivation and attitudes are a product of the market logic, which has made them commodify their citizenship. These findings imply a theory of citizenship practice and contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon of Chinese peasant workers.

With the development of the Internet, the information society has entered the era of big data. In this paper, the authors analyze the social support system of peasant workers' citizenship based on network and data platform. Through the network investigation, the result shows that the building of social support system plays an important role in promoting citizenization of peasant worker. The main body social support can be resolved as two dimensions: internal support system and external support system. The internal support system is also divided into governmental support and non-governmental support. And the external support system is based on the support of kinship and the support of geopolitical relationships. In order to structure the social support network system of peasant workers, government need stimulate the non-governmental organization, kinship and geopolitical relationships. At the same time, we need pay attention to the three links when peasant workers integrate into society, as countryside exiting, city entering and city integrating.
