Drawing from global insights and the education supply and demand theory, this comprehensive book investigates migrant children's education in China, exploring the educational financial policies that serve as both a background and potential solutions. From a comparative perspective, the author examines the education fiscal policies regarding issues with migrant/immigrant students and inequality in the United States and Europe, laying the foundation for a comprehensive theoretical framework to evaluate the government and public schools' input and migrant children's educational demand in China. In-depth discussions are conducted on various aspects, including school choices, academic performances, educational choices, and their impact factors from the perspectives of class, gender, society, and family. By tracing back to previous fiscal policies regarding migrant children in China and local policies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, the author further interrogates the existing challenges, possible strategies, and solutions. This book appeals to scholars of education economics, education policy, educational equality, and those with a general interest in Chinese education and society.
