ABSTRACT
This research aims to analyze the evolution of Chinese migration, focusing on the worsening distribution of income, the concentration of investments and planning for the development of inland China, being grounded, in most cases, by the classical thinkers of development. It could be seen that provinces with larger investments are the most sought after by migrants who are in the search of better opportunities. The concentration of urbanization in the coastal region and regional inequalities in China may be mitigated through a regional development focused on disadvantaged provinces, causing workers seek opportunities in their own provinces.
