Abstract: Using data from the one per thousand floating population survey in Beijing conducted in 2006, this paper examines structure, distribution, economic status and living arrangement of the floating population in Beijing. Structural changes of the floating population are taking place, with increasing familization of migration. Economic advantages are the major pulling factor in Beijing. Duration of stay in Beijing is quite long for most of the migrants, and many are the de facto Beijingnese. Being informal is characteristic of the ways in which the migrants move to and are being employed in Beijing. The vast majority of the migrant workers are engaged in non-agricultural activities; however, their upward mobility in the city is rare. The paper also discusses difficulties and problems that the migrants face in employment, social security and living conditions.

Keywords: Floating population, Migrant workers, Labour migration

摘要： 本文根据2006年“北京市1‰流动人口调查”数据分析了北京市流动人口的结构、分布、经济状况和居住状况等特征。研究发现,北京市流动人口正在发生结构性的变化,其家庭化的趋势明显;北京的经济优势是吸引流动人口来京的最主要原因;流动人口在京滞留时间较长,很多人已经成为事实上的“北京人”;流动人口的流动渠道和实现就业的渠道具有“非正规”的特性;流动使绝大多数人实现了职业身份的“非农化”,但在进城后流动劳动力继续向上流动的机会减少。另外,本文也探讨了在京流动人口在劳动就业、社会保险、居住条件等方面面临的困境和问题。
