29 The result of this report □ Less than 10 % of all the surveyed families have their members working outside of the city. □ Moreover, Even in the families of “ the unemployed and the underemployed ” only less than 10 % of them have sent their family members for out-migration.

30 □ The reason for the above ① The restriction of family register system ② Little information, funds nor connection to work in big cities in China or other countries are available to workers.

31 □ So many of them live with their parents or relatives, or live in their neighborhood, getting some support from them to make their living. □ Even the families that have their members working out of the city have less possibility to get remittances from them → because they can be only engaged in informal sectors and get lower income.

32 □ There is concern that the vicious circle of yielding unemployment ending up in chronic poverty passed on generation to generation may be brought about. □ It could be said → some measures should be taken to develop social benefits such as unemployment insurance.
