Using data from the 1990 census of China, two migration surveys in Guangdong and Hubei provinces, and field research findings, this study examines the dynamics of China's internal population migration since the 1980s, including the new regional patterns and trends of migration, causes of migration patterns, migration decision-making, and impacts of migration on regional development and individual migrants. The results of this study show that China has entered a new era of population movement characterized by massive voluntary migration. The three major migration patterns, from rural to urban, from interior to coastal regions, and from less developed to more developed regions, are much different from the previous ones in the pre-reform era. The state has played an important role in shaping the new migration patterns through its uneven regional development policies with a favor to the coastal regions. Migrants are strongly motivated to pursue spatial mobility for economic reasons. It has not been a time for Chinese people to pursue residential satisfaction through spatial mobility. It also shows that the social control mechanism, such as household registration system, has been less effective in controlling people spatial movement. It is clear that majority of migrants get their information about the places of destination through their social networks. The channels to connect the demands for and supplies of labor have not been marketized as needed. This study suggests that decision-making in the migration process is not very traditional as expected, as most migrants made their own decision of migration, and influence from their families is relatively weak. In addition to the contribution to urbanization process, rural to urban migration has impacts on migrant receiving places by changing the social and demographic structures. Migrants' native places have also benefited from sending out migrants by receiving remittance and investment made by returning migrants. Furthermore, this study shows that while migrants enjoy their economic success, they also suffer great frustration at their places of destination.
