China will improve services for migrant workers in cities to help them become urbanites, as part of the country's efforts to nurture a high quality work force, expand consumption and let the vast group enjoy the fruits of the country's growth.

The decision was made at an executive meeting of the State Council, presided over by Premier Li Keqiang, on Wednesday.

It will also promote social equity and contribute to sustainable and healthy economic growth, according to a statement released after the meeting.

The country should help migrant workers find jobs in cities by raising their vocational skills through training and increase job opportunities that are suitable for them.

China should also encourage migrant workers to start businesses by offering fiscal support, investment guidance, loan guarantees and interest subsidies, the statement said.

Official data showed that China had 174 million migrant workers who worked in cities and towns away from their home by the end of June.
