| Summary/Abstract |
This article offers a detailed study of China's large group of rural children affected by present-day internal labor migration. The author defines key lines of international studies on the effects of labor migration on the mental, physical, and psychological development of the children of migrant workers in China are identified. It is shown that the form of labor migration changing from individuals to couples, and then to entire families, has substantially altered the position of rural children, thus opening new areas of study. There are now more than 100 million children affected by the wave of rural migration in China. Of these, around 70 million continue to live in villages, while more than 35 million have followed their parents into cities. The age at which children move is often between six and 12, due to their entering different grades of public school and numerous aspects of urbanization in China. The considered group of children is neither homogeneous nor static, and a multifaceted approach is needed to study their environment. A number of problems encountered by two subgroups can be identified based on differences in the environments in which a child grows up.

| Summary/Abstract |
There has been growing debate about whether the changing demographic composition due to rural labor migration could potentially threaten China's agricultural productivity. The Chinese Government is promoting the “three rights separation system” to consolidate agricultural land through the land rental market with the explicit intention of fostering new agricultural management subjects and improving agricultural productivity. The present paper estimates the effect of rural labor migration on households' participation in land renting in and renting out activities based on a unique dataset from three rounds of nationally representative surveys. Our results indicate that rural labor migration has a significant negative effect on households renting in land and has a positive effect on households renting out land in rural China. Therefore, the government should adopt targeted policies to effectively encourage farmers with higher agricultural capacity to rent in land to alleviate the negative effect of rural migration on households renting in land. Supporting policies should guarantee that rural migrants enjoy the same welfare services as urban residents.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using various sources of data, this paper examines the contributions of rural labor migration to economic growth and poverty reduction in China. The results show that there is still a significant number of people living in poverty in rural areas, while the effectiveness of migration on poverty reduction has declined, implying an urgent need for new approaches to poverty reduction. China's experiences could also be valuable for the formulation of development strategies in other developing countries.
