| Abstract: | Based on the national 1% population sample survey in 2005, together with CGSS2006 and CHNS2006,the author explored what effect the movement of rural laborers has had on their family welfare. The results are shown as follows: due to the migrant workers long-term vacancy of their role in the family,their left-behind parents could not get enough emotional relief,nor adequate daily care,whereas they had to bear heavy housework,and suffer mental and manual damnification; their left-behind children are also affected negatively concerning their enrollment in schooling,their building of interests,and their participation in learning.Hence the government should take actions to reduce the loss in their family welfare and to ease their worries. |
