Special Economic Zones

What is an SEZ?

1. An area with low costs for multinationals
2. An industrial area in rich countries
3. An area with regional inequality

2. Hongkong
3. Shenzhen
4. Guangzhou

Sinds Shenzhen een SEZ is geworden is er een .... in Shenzhen.

1. immigration surplus
2. Emigration surplus

Look at the map. What NO explanation for the distribution pattern of SEZ's?

1. SEZ's are on the coast, because of the good connections with the world
2. SEZ's are at the coast, because these areas require most development
3. SEZ's are in densely populated areas, with lots of labour available.
4. SEZ's are in areas with good infrastructure

You can travel but you can not 
move to another city. 

If you move, you get no rights.

Illegal living --> Floating population
