Abstract: Abstract According to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, the number of rural-urban migrants in 2009 was approximately 0.145 billion, 28.16 million of whom worked in the Yangtze River Delta. Data from the Shanghai Statistical Bureau show that at the end of 2009 the total population of Shanghai was 19.21 million with 5.42 million being floating population. Adding another 1.54 million people living in Shanghai for less than 6 months, the total floating population reached 6.96 million, a whopping 80 percent increase over the 2000 figure of 3.87 million (Shanghai Statistical Yearbook 2010, Table 2.3).
