A large number of rural labor forces have a negative impact on the local economy and society. Rural labor force plays an important role in relieving the poverty and increasing the income of rural residents to improve the welfare of the family; Labor mobility also promoted the flow and reorganization of capital, land and labor resources in a certain extent, it promoted the deepening of specialization and division of labor and rural market of rural production in some degree. Due to the fact that a large number of young men in high education work out of labor, it not only increases the labor intensity of rural areas, but also brings some negative effects on the popularization and application of advanced agricultural technology and the development of modern agriculture. Therefore, the local government should integrate the advantages and disadvantages of migrant workers to work, and formulate appropriate local policies to promote the construction and development of the rural areas to the greatest extent.

Shenzhen grew fast as a city of industrial mass-production, but is transforming to an innovative and creative city. Shenzhen's policies to encourage the creative industries are mostly aimed at companies and entrepreneurs. To really become an attractive creative city, housing policies for creative talent should be added. This article reports on an interview-based analysis of the housing situation and residential preferences of creative workers in Shenzhen. While creatives with good salaries have no problems finding attractive homes and neighbourhoods in Shenzhen, there is a shortage of affordable neighbourhoods meeting the demands of recent graduates and starting creatives. Shenzhen's creative city strategy should take the socio-economic diversity of creative workers into account.
