The paper claims that in a considerable span of t ime, it will be unpractical for China to solve the problem of migrant workers by copying the way of industrialization and urbanizat ion taken by developed countries; instead, China should adopt a realistic way:to stabilize and improve the revert ible flow mode of rural work force between urban and rural areas, in other words, to adopt the way of elastic urbanization. Which effectively balanced the disparity between the limit of urbanization and low income in rural areas under market conditions and lowered the risk of migrant workers becoming primary poor populat ion in urban areas.
