Urbanization refers to the term in which the rural population is shifting from rural areas to urban areas in search of employment, to start a new job, peoples are also shifting in the urban area for the better education facilities. It is said that nearly a billion people in China will move from rural areas to urban areas in the next 50 years, China is one of the worlds fastest-growing economy in this world, due to the exporter country there is a large number of factories and industries are working in the urban area of china, world-class education facilities are also available in the urban areas to compare to the rural areas of China, due to economic reforms in china better job opportunities are created for both skilled and unskilled labor of china, better living standards is also one of the main reason of shifting of population from rural area to urban area. In Chinese urban cities, Urban families tend to be smaller than rural families, so there will increase in the population of the cities due to the shifting of large families in the cities of China. Shifting of the rural population in urban areas will have both positive and negative impact in urban cities, on a positive note the living standards of rural peoples will improve, the quality of education of rural students will also improve, there will be no shortage of labors of both kind which means skilled and unskilled labor,the negative impact can be the increase in population of urban areas,demand of goods and services will also increase which can be result into the increase in price of goods and services etc.
