China's young migrants like cities, spend more - survey

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's young rural migrant workers are more eager to work in cities, and are spending more and saving less, an official survey showed on Monday, a trend that could boost Beijing's efforts to urbanise and re-balance the economy in the long term.

To help turn consumers into the main driver of the economy, China's leaders aim for 60 percent of the country's population of almost 1.4 billion to be living in cities by 2020.
