Abstract

Emerging new generation group having significantly new nature in the world of migrant workers was after 2010s, and in this article, it was intended to examine intensively the relation of new tension that they made with country with the critical investigation on the approach by generation in the perception and judgment on such new generation migrant workers as starting point. Particularly, this article intended to analyze the implications of these new generation migrant workers, who made the different type of changes than before connecting with the urbanization strategy of Chinese government in the aspect of 'mobility'. New urbanization policy of Chinese government is connected closely to the issue how to absorb these new generation migrant workers to the city. They have different nature than the precious first generation migrant workers. They do not have experience related to agriculture and is not a group having advanced industrial technology. While the previous generation tried to maximize the household income traveling between the city and the farm village, they want to secure appropriate employment and legal status of urban resident wandering mainly around the small and medium sized cities. Chinese government is implementing the policy of opening Hukou (family register) in the small and medium-sized cities by policy to urbanize them. Of course, it is good opportunity but if the urban rank is fixed in the expansion and competition among the cities in future, both their exit and withdrawal route are blocked. For them, not only the legal status and income but also the identity as producer and consumer, that is, the role of whole citizen is needed. Chinese government should not consider them as human resources but should made them as genuine urban citizen considering the characteristics of new generation migrant workers more meticulously.
