TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors examined the class consciousness of rural migrant children as they were about to join their migrant parents and become "China's new workers" and found that migrant children are aware of the unequal class relationships suffered by migrant workers; however, their interpretations of class-based injustices exhibit false consciousness, shadowed by individualism, meritocracy and the duality of images.
Abstract: The state of class consciousness of working-class children in China has received scant attention in the scholarly literature. This study examines the class consciousness of rural migrant children as they are about to join their migrant parents and become “China's new workers.” Qualitative investigations were conducted in two primary schools in Beijing. Focus group and individual interviews were held with 87 fifth- and sixth-grade migrant children in the two case schools and 324 valid student questionnaires were collected. The findings reveal that migrant children are aware of the unequal class relationships suffered by migrant workers; however, their interpretations of class-based injustices exhibit false consciousness, shadowed by individualism, meritocracy and the duality of images. Family and school may play vital roles in shaping migrant children's class consciousness.

Abstract: 以1980年前后出生为界，中国城市农民工呈现出明显的代际差异：80后农民工拥有更多人力资本，有职业规划，求职途径较多为市场和政府，关注自己的长远发展，职业稳定性较低；他们被侵权或自己感觉被侵权的比例更高，对相关劳动法规更了解，更有维权的勇气；个人消费水平高于80前农民工，网民比例高，业余生活娱乐休闲色彩浓厚；对社会的评价和认同度相对更高，与老家的联系程度正在减弱，更愿意放弃老家田地、把户口迁入工作城市。80后农民工向企业的管理理念提出了挑战，更向城乡二元社会结构提出了挑战；农民工在取得流动权、工作权以后，理应进一步取得与城市居民完全平等的公民权。
