Summary/Abstract

Using data from three provinces as part of a joint study by Monash University in Australia and China's Institute of Labour Science, an affiliate body of the national Ministry of Labour and Social Security, this article examines the extension of social rights and social security coverage to intra-national migrants in China as a public governance issue. More specifically, it analyses how central government regulations on improving the situation of migrant workers are being interpreted and implemented by local governments.

Summary/Abstract

Migration in one form or another has always been a part of human existence, but the politics that surround migration have shifted over time. The institutional actors involved in regulating the flow of migrants have increased in number and become more diverse. They are located not only within the state but also at sub‐ and supra‐state levels. There is also greater awareness of the various fields of policy that directly or indirectly interact with migration. Therefore, the issues engaging policymakers go well beyond controlling people's exit from one country and entry into another. They require bilateral and multilateral cooperation. Yet the world is still made up of single states continuing to assert their sovereignty over territorial borders and population movement, and the importance of migration governance in a transnational context is at an all‐time high. What processes shape the structure and the predominant patterns of migration between countries and what do these imply for the migration possibilities that confront different populations?
