China: 'It's hard to imagine a labor shortage in China, but there is. With 120 million "farmer workers" having migrated to the cities, and at least 300 million more expected to follow them by 2020, many rural areas are desperately short of labor. Ironically, the unskilled migrants find themselves unemployed in the cities, where there is an unsatisfied demand for skilled workers.' (Asia Times)
