Abstract

This chapter follows with an analysis of the characteristics (including employment and residence traits) and spatial distributional changes of migrant workers in Beijing between 2000 and 2010. In comparing the census data of 2000 with that of 2010 with the towns and sub-districts as spatial units, this chapter identifies the flow-in and flow-out areas of Beijing’s migrant population at the municipal level. The census data also reports upon the residence status of migrant workers in Beijing, including their housing sources, living conditions and specific housing difficulties. A comparison of the demographic profiles of the local and non-local populations at the city level is also given.
