Because the residence is separated from the registered permanent residence, it is difficult for children of floating population to enjoy equal educational opportunities with children of the same age in cities. In the process of growing up, many migrant children have to go back to their domicile to live and go to school, and eventually become left-behind children.

Background of migrant children
Since 1980s, with the deepening of reform and opening up and the establishment of the socialist market economy system, China has gradually changed from a traditional society to a modern society, from an agricultural society to an industrial society, and from a closed society to an open society. Under the background of social transformation, the scale of social mobility is increasing.
In China, the main form of social mobility is from rural areas to cities, and its purpose is to work. Therefore, most of the floating population are young adults aged 18 to 45, and their children are at school age, which leads to problems such as education for floating children.
According to the data of the fifth population census, the number of floating children aged/0/.4 years and under in China in 2000 was 1.4110,000. By the time of sampling survey of 1% population in 2005, the number of floating children aged 14 and under had further increased to18.34 million. In the past five years, the number of floating children has increased by 4.24 million, an increase of 30%.
