Legal Analysis: Investigation Report on Social Practice of Left-behind Children Large-scale population movement has formed a special group: left-behind children. After parents go out to work, children stay at home (mainly in rural areas). They are called left-behind children. According to the data provided by the All-China Women's Federation, there are 20 million left-behind children in rural areas of China, and the number is still increasing. In some rural labor exporting provinces, the proportion of left-behind children in the total number of local children has reached 18% to 22%. These children are a special social group during the period of rural social transformation and after large-scale rural labor force entered the city for employment. I or both my parents work in the city, or my parents work unilaterally outside. These children live with grandparents, relatives, friends and neighbors, and a large number of them live independently. Due to geographical and historical reasons, the economic development in different regions of China is very uneven, and the contradiction between people and land in rural areas is acute. Driven by the rapid development of market economy, a large number of rural surplus laborers go out to work in order to change their living conditions. Most of them are husband and wife, and they can't take care of their children due to economic and other reasons, resulting in the problem of "left-behind children". Because most left-behind children are taken care of by grandparents, the lack of parental supervision and education has a negative impact on the all-round healthy growth of left-behind children, and the problem of "intergenerational education" is the most prominent among the "left-behind children" group.
