　　After a generation of migration, barriers to social mobility remain.

　　整整一代人迁徙之后，社会流动的障碍仍然存在。

　　THE greatest wave of voluntary migration in human history transformed Chinas cities, and the global economy, in a single generation. It has also created a huge task for those cities, by raising the expectations of the next generation of migrants from the countryside, and of second-generation migrant children. They have grown up in cities in which neither the jobs nor the education offered them have improved much.This matters because the next generation of migrants has already arrived in staggering numbers. Shanghais migrant population almost trebled between 2000 and 2010, to 9m of the municipalitys 23m people. Nearly 60% of Shanghais 7.5m or so 20-to-34-year-olds are migrants.
