The Second Generation of Floating Population since Adulthood:Size,Characteristics,and Trends
Based on data from the population censuses and CMDS,this study systematically analyzes the size and characteristics of the adult second generation of floating population.It is found that the size and proportion of the adult second generation of floating population have shown a rising trend since 2010.By 2020,the adult second generation of floating population aged 18～45 has reached 159 million,accounting for 29.89%of China's working-age population aged 18～45.Compared with the second generation of the non-floating popula-tion,the second generation of the floating population generally performs worse in their adult development,with relatively low levels of educational attainment,income and satisfaction with their economic situation.In addi-tion,women are more affected by the left-behind experience.Population prediction shows that the size of the adult second generation of floating population will continue to rise,accounting for more than half of the young adult labor force by 2035,so their development should be given greater attention.Policies for the development of the floating population and their children should be based on the concept of the"full life cycle",and the development of the adult second generation of floating population needs to be supported by policies.Urban development planning,public service provision and other policy arrangements should be coordinated on the basis of the resident population.
