Abstract

The predicament of housing and rights protection for migrant workers in China has induced many social contradictions and conflicts, which seriously hindered the healthy development of the city's economic and social environment and became a hot spot of social concern. The paper adopts literature analysis method and comprehensive induction method. Firstly, it explains the connotation and essentials of urban inclusive development and the protection of migrant workers' housing rights and interests, and explains that the protection of migrant workers' housing rights is the proper meaning of urban inclusive development. On the basis of the status quo of industrial housing, this paper analyzes the reasons why the protection of migrant workers' housing rights is in trouble: the poor conditions of migrant workers themselves and the exclusionary effects of social systems. Finally, from the institutional level, effective policies and measures to effectively protect the housing rights of migrant workers are put forward. Conclusions and suggestions are to improve and protect the housing rights of migrant workers, we must abandon the exclusionary development thinking, change the existing “dualistic” social system of urban housing security, employment income and household registration, and establish an equal citizenship empowerment mechanism and general urban housing security. Mechanisms, such as public service input mechanisms for migrant workers, have contributed to the formation of urban inclusive development models, thereby could eliminate the institutional roots that exclude the protection of migrant workers’ housing rights.
