“…This suggests that transit has a limited capacity in serving and attracting RUM. RUM's employment characteristics tend to differ from urban residents (Fan, 2003;Lau and Chiu, 2013) and they presumably have different travel demand than urban residents. However, studies on RUM' travel behavior are in scarcity in the literature.…”

“…Greatly adding to the urban water quality problem is the formation of urban villages throughout Guangzhou where migrant workers are concentrated (Yang 2004;Shen et al 2006;Lau and Chiu 2013), due to affordable housing and convenience to work places. Population density is usually much higher in urban villages than in any other residential areas of the city (Liu et al 2010).…”

It may be a long series of wanderings or adventures filled with notable experiences and hardships that a rural person in current China migrates into urban area and attempts to relocate in it. Hukou conversion, family separation, and job opportunity become the three main barriers for rural migrants transform into urban citizen. Academic identification has verified there is full of risks for the expectations and consequences of residential mobility in China as to a rural family. An empirical exploration is necessary to examine the role of hukou conversion and marriage in the mechanism of residential mobility. However, lack of the most appropriate dataset, CHARLS dataset becomes the second-best. The empirical results reflect residential mobility dynamics in China have destroyed the original system of rural family. The waiting time of hukou conversion has exhaust youth and vigour of migrants. The regression analysis provides a further insight of economic variables including years prepared for moving within the county/city and years prepared for moving into the county/city. The subsequent discussion expands understanding millions of migrants' adverse situations, the positive and negative impact of multiple social forces on their lives. In the end, direction of future research is discussed.
