This new generation of citizens, the children of migrant workers, do not have the same passion for farmland as their parents. Yet, they do share the same dream as their parents in some regards. One of which is wealth. They dream of equal rights and living in a country where they no longer have to face social problems. Currently they are marginalized and discriminated against even though their work has caused China's economic growth to increase by 8%. Because of hukou (a household registration system), migrant workers are not able to have to privileges of "education, medical care, housing, employment and other public services" (Xinhua). Eventually the government has plans to let workers gradually become urban residents.
