Rapid industrialization in the wake of reform and opening up has transferred a large rural population to the cities,yet the vast majority of these people are not entitled to the same urban social services as are urban residents,including education and healthcare.This poses unique problems for the urbanization of the migrant agricultural population.Many analysts hold that the biggest barrier to making these migrant rural citizens into compleu urban citizens is the high cost.Pan Jiahua,through a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and costs of the agricultural population transfer,maintains that the benefits far outweigh the costs,and the problem lies in the asymmetry of real interests and the limited expenditure on basic urban social services for the transferring agricultural population.The key to resolving the conundrum of cost in the urbanization of the transferring agricultural population lies in scientifically understanding benefits,breaking pattern of real interests,and accelerating the process of urbanization of the transferring agricultural population.
