“…A study on the impact of the household registration system reform indicates that between 2000 and 2014, cities in the eastern regions gained roughly 135% more migrants than those in the middle of the country and roughly 245% more than cities in the western regions. The study also revealed that smaller cities, with populations between one and two million people, experienced the greatest growth during that period [43]. The Bureau of Statistics data from the seventh national census (2020) shows that the provinces/regions with the largest proportion of floating populations were the Yangtze River Delta (15.9%), Guangdong (13.9%), Zhejiang (6.8%), Jiangsu (6.3%), and Henan (5.6%) (see Figure 5).…”
