Number of migrant children was evenly distributed across age except for children less than one year old and children aged 15-17. Many migrant children are confronted with challenges to quality education and face difficulties in affordable healthcare services. Receiving cities should concretely consider and respond to the needs of migrant children in overall education and healthcare planning. Some 36 per cent of migrant children are between 15-17 years of age. Most of them attend school, but quite a few of them abandon senior secondary education to become new-generation migrant workers and face the challenges of the migrant population, including the issue of social exclusion. Proportions of rural left-behind children for each age group were close to each other.
