Chinanews, Beijing, Nov. 7 – A recent survey shows that in Beijing, women make up a larger and larger part of the floating population nowadays. While a lot of men went out to find a job in the previous years, today the husband and the wife prefer to work out together, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
The survey was done based on a random1 investigation2 carried out last year. In that investigation, 1‰ of the floating population were chosen as the samplings for the survey. The survey, published in the latest issue of Population Research magazine, was completed by Zhai Zhenwu, a professor at the Population Studies Center at the Renmin University of China, together with his colleagues. In order to complete the survey, they issued 4,078 questionnaires to migrant workers and 715 questionnaires to landlords or landladies3 who leased houses to migrant workers. The survey shows that in Beijing, the gender4 ratio among migrant workers is 123, with more migrant workers being male. If one compares the gender ratio changes occurring during the past decade, one can find that over the past ten years, more and more women joined the floating population group. In 1997, the gender ratio among migrant workers was 173. Last year, it was reduced to 123. In addition, children take up a larger proportion now than before in the floating population. In 1997, children accounted for 6.7% of the floating population in Beijing, and in 2006, their proportion had risen to 14.2%, which was twice the percentage point a decade ago.
