The Christian Science Monitor discovers that China's internal migrants are finding more reasons to stay home, and less incentive to accept low wages in the coastal cities:
While workers once flocked to cities like Dongguan, rising rural incomes and rapid growth in inland cities have diminished the appeal of migration to coastal boomtowns - particularly among young, single women, whom factory bosses prefer to men as easier to manage. Staying close to home means access to healthcare and other benefits that migrants don't always receive. So job seekers are playing harder to get.

Again, a testiment to the benefits of more free and open markets rather than government mandated production.
Capitalism works.
