1. Parenting for resident and migrant women

Data shows that there are many problems related to parenting for Chinese resident and migrant women after childbirth, which negatively affect the wellbeing of children in the short and long term. With the development of China's urbanization and universal two-child policy, these parenting problems of Chinese resident and migrant women should warrant more attention.
