My question for this blog is: with all of these 100+million internal migrants from the countryside to the cities, what employment opportunities exist for most of them. Does anyone know of a study of what % of these workers end up in each industry by city? For example, are all of the migrant workers in Shanghai working in the construction industry? What % work in factories? Does it differ by city? I would be very curious about this.
Please let me know if you know of any studies on this question.
