What are the accompanying children?

The accompanying children are as follows:

Migrant children refer to minor children who follow migrant workers or immigrants to live in cities. Because this group was born in a floating family, they often face problems such as uncertain living environment, disordered family relations and lack of educational resources, so they have attracted much attention.

The phenomenon of accompanying children originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s. With the rapid development of urbanization, a large number of farmers have flooded into cities to engage in informal employment, and they have brought their whole families to make a living, including underage children.

Due to China's household registration system, migrant children cannot enjoy urban public services and social security, and their basic rights and interests such as education and medical care are generally restricted. In addition, migrant children often face discrimination and exclusion from urban residents, and their living environment and education level are generally difficult.

The problem of accompanying children has aroused widespread concern at home and abroad. In 2004, the government of China put forward the policy of "creating conditions for migrant children to receive compulsory education", aiming at providing better educational opportunities for migrant children.

Under the guidance of the policy, a series of measures to improve the education of migrant children have been introduced one after another, such as free entrance examination and subsidy policy, which has provided great help to the education of migrant children.

However, in just a few years, due to the rapid development of urbanization and the limitation of household registration system, the number of children moving with them has been increasing, and the problems faced have been expanding and deepening. Because they can't enjoy social welfare, the living and learning environment of migrant children is often poor, and educational resources and opportunities are relatively scarce.

In addition, migrant children often suffer discrimination and exclusion from urban residents, especially in education. It is very common that children of city residents are given priority.

Governments at all levels and all walks of life have taken a series of measures to solve the problem of children moving with them. In addition to educational policies, there are some unconventional measures to improve their lives, such as bringing migrant children into the scope of public services and allowing them to participate in cultural activities, which are conducive to alleviating their plight.
