The facts of migration in China, however, show that Todaro model ignores the constant increase of rural surplus labors and the heavy labor demand with the development of the tertiary industry. Todaro model against rural population migrating to urban area only restrains the increase of urban population but accelerates the increase of rural population, it transfers unemployment to rural area while does not solve employment of rural surplus labors. Hence, due to its theoretical defect, Todaro model cannot settle Chinese rural problem, in addition to, have negative effect on urban economic development. In brief, we should learn lessons from Todaro migration model, canceling household registration system and separation of dual labor market, building unified labor market allowing rural surplus labors to migrate to urban area, decreasing labor migration cost, and advancing urbanizi
