| dc.description.abstract | Urban-rural migration has been one of the hot topics during the rapid urbanization era in China. Several decades on, millions of rural labors in China have migrated from Central China to the coastal cities. While in recent years due to higher living cost and decreasing job opportunities in coastal industries, an increasing number of urban-rural migrants went back to their hometown. They are called ‘returning rural labors’ in this paper. Majority of them settle down in the county towns rather than their original rural villages, which might generate dramatic changes on these county towns, especially in the central provinces such as Anhui. Preliminary surveys in these county towns reveal that the demands of most returning rural labors on public service facilities are different to original county residents, which could be the most vital consequences by the returning rural labors. Although some existing research findings have focused on the returning rural labors, there is few of thorough investigation and analysis on the influences on the demands of public service facilities by the massive returning rural labors. Currently, the provision of public service facilities in these county towns follows the same way of the other county towns, usually according to the inflexible standards of national codes such as the “index of one thousand person”, which can hardly match the real social demands of the county towns with very large number of returning rural labors. | |
