There is a wide range of young female factory workers in China. These employees work extremely hard to earn their salary. No more than to send it to family members or to save money, they then have to return to their hometown. Young female workers are paid very poorly for all the effort and time put in, including time spent and mistreatment. In China, floating workers and migrants come to cities to look for work. Floating workers refer to young Chinese women who move from the countryside to the city to find work. When a worker is labeled “floating,” it indicates that they are not there to stay for an extended period of time. In other words, floating workers are expected to return home after saving so much money. So when the money runs out, they come back to the city to work and save it. Due to the city's growing population, the government created a system called hukou. The hukou system creates obstacles for these migrants and floating workers. The hukou system is a residence permit. If a worker does not have a residence permit, he or she has no legal right to live there. In addition, this permit does not allow these workers to travel wherever they wish. The Communist Party regime (1950s) began using the hukou system to restrict movement and enforce financial separation (Magistad, 2013, p.1). Since China wanted to build prosperous cities, it needed cheap migrant labor in factories to do the odd jobs that normal residences wouldn't do. Due to the changes, there are fewer restrictions on where you can live. For example, as long as an individual has a job, he or she can live in the city, such as Shanghai. Speaking of which, Shanghai has a population of about 13 million, plus 10 or 11 million...... middle of paper...... self-esteem. For the most part, women play an important role in factory jobs in the Chinese city. Floating workers refer to young Chinese women who leave the countryside to work in the city. It is estimated that 80 percent of factory workers are women, aged between 18 and 25 (Chang, 2001, p. 100). Even though their wages are low and they are mistreated, these women continue to do their jobs and are able to support themselves and others. And on top of that, they have to worry about hukou residence permit due to the city's growing population. The hukou system creates difficulties with migrants and floating workers. But through it all, floating workers and migrants bring diversity and cultural differences to Chinese cities. Chinese cities create jobs for these workers, while these workers bring new knowledge and creativity..
