Siasat Buruh Migran Tiongkok Menghadapi Sistem Hukou

This research by Li Sun investigates how Chinese migrant workers navigate the challenges of moving from rural villages to urban centers. The author introduces a typology of coping strategies—administrative, political, and social—to evaluate how these individuals handle issues like job seeking, unpaid wages, and health crises. While the Chinese government has implemented facilitation policies since the early 2000s, the study reveals that many of these formal interventions fail to meet their intended goals. Consequently, workers frequently bypass official channels, relying instead on informal social networks or emerging forms of political protest to secure their rights and livelihoods. Ultimately, the text highlights the significant gap between state policy design and the precarious reality of the migrant experience in China's "worker-made" economy.
