economic change. An important aspect of this change is the increase or
decrease in the number associated with urban workers and rural workers,
together with national labour supply. In fact, The model has been used to
analyse the urbanisation process, labour migration from villages to cities, in
China. The findings provided us with an insightful and new aspect of
understanding the urbanisation, which has been carried out as an economic
policy in China.
Although figures calculated by the model still need to be thoroughly
investigated, this model has a strong potential for further revelations and
hence is apt for more in-depth analysis. We could elaborate the valuables in
the model by reflecting the current situations in China, for instance, the
existence of rural migrant workers in cities who are not treated as inhabitants
in cities, as well as accumulating the empirical studies in wider aspects.
