A Study on the Reciprocal Relationship Between Improving Migrant Workers’ Education and Urban Social Integration.

Xiaolong Hu*

Abstract


As China’s urbanization accelerates, migrant workers have become an indispensable and vital force in urban development. However, due to relatively lower levels of education, an imperfect social security system, and issues of identity, migrant workers often face difficulties integrating into urban society. This paper explores the inherent connection and synergistic effect between improving migrant workers’
education and their integration into urban society, adopting a two-way interactive perspective. By analyzing how enhancing migrant worker
education promotes urban social integration, and how urban social integration provides a feedback mechanism for improving migrant worker
education, this paper proposes corresponding policy recommendations.
