In 2010, the migrant population was generally concentrated in the economically developed eastern coastal provinces and the densely populated inland provinces. There were six major provinces to which a total of 100 million people had migrated (more than 10 million to each province), namely Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan and Fujian. The number of migrant population in these provinces accounted for 45.5 per cent of all migrant population nationwide.
