Internal Migration in China.

Living in the Shadows: China's Internal Migrants (26 Sept 2012)

China's massive economic growth has both created and been fuelled by the world's largest peacetime migration, with 200 million people moving from the countryside to the city.

However, because of the 'hukou' or household registration system in China, internal migrants are often in a legal limbo, denied access to local social services, and discriminated against by both the state and private employers. This project reveals how three families have dealt with this situation.

There were two slightly different  ways we answered this question.

Team 1.  Did the policy reduce natural increase enough? Would the reduction in natural increase have happened any way.

Team 2. Looked at the question on a different way from the assumption that any population control policy intends to achieve the best Natural Increase for  the environmental, socio-political, and economic benefit of the country.

When Writing the essay you must use the Mark Scheme.
