Abstract
The purpose of the article is to study the process of migration of peasants to the cities of modern China.
As a result of the economic reform and the increase in the material well-being of the Chinese, the mobility of the country’s population has increased significantly. By its nature, migration in China is divided into permanent, seasonal and temporary (of two types — “pendulum” and “shuttle”). In terms of directions, migration in China is divided into migration from a village to a city, migration from a suburb to a city, and migration from one city to another city. An example of “pendulum” and “shuttle” (up to three months) migration can be the movement of workers freed from the agricultural sector in search of other forms and options for agricultural activity.
