留守儿童栓住农民工

The loss of kinship has 'seriously' stunted their growth and development

58 million children in rural areas are left behind while their parents went off to the cities for work. The loss of kinship has "seriously" stunted their growth and development.

Many migrant workers cite concern for their children for why they don't want to work elsewhere again, Guangzhou Daily reports.

据《广州日报》报道，留守儿童是很多农民工不愿外出打工的主要原因。

Statistics from the All-China Women's Federation show that 58 million children in rural areas are left behind while their parents went off to the cities for work. Among them, 30% have parents who have been working in cities for more than five years. The loss of kinship has "seriously" stunted their growth and development, according to the organization.

全国妇联提供的数据显示，全国农村共有约5800万留守儿童，其中三成留守儿童的父母在城市打工5年以上。亲情缺乏已经严重妨碍了他们的成长和发展。
