報告顯示 全國流動人口已逾總人口的1/6

One out of every six people in China migrates from one place to another, according to the 2016 Report on China's Migrant Population Development released last Wednesday by the National Health and Family Planning Commission. The report suggested that China's internal migration, the so-called "floating population," hit 247 million last year.

國家衛生計生委上週三發佈的《中國流動人口發展報告2016》顯示，2015年，我國流動人口規模達2.47億人，每六人中就有一人屬於流動人口。

The average age of the migrants is 29.3, 1.4 years older than the average in 2014, the report said.

報告稱，去年流動人口的平均年齡爲29.3歲，較2014年增加了1.4歲。

The average age of migration is increasing, in part, because older people are moving into the major cities to live with their children.

流動人口的平均年齡正在上升，某種程度上是因爲老年人爲與子女同住紛紛移居到了大城市。

The report said 43% of the older migrants move to look after children or grandchildren and 22.5% migrate for jobs. Another 25.4% move for senior care.

報告指出，43%的老人流動是爲了照顧子女或孫輩，22.5%爲務工，另有25.4%爲養老而流動。

This is creating additional concerns about the available care for seniors in many communities.

這也帶來了許多社區中的老年人護理問題的更多關注。

The reports also suggested the floating population in China will stay above 200 million in the coming decades, as urbanization continue to speed up.

該報告還指出，隨着城市化的步伐繼續加快，中國的流動人口將會在接下來的十年中仍然保持在2億人以上。
