| - Dagongmei (Chinese: 打工妹; lit. 'working little sisters') are Chinese female migrant workers in the cities. This term emerged during the post-Mao Reform Period (1978-) and is still a relevant term in the present day. Its purpose was to denote a new kind of labor relation that distinguishes itself from the labor relations during the Mao Era. To break down the meaning, dagong means “selling labor” and mei means “younger sister.” Mei also implies that these young women were usually unmarried and single. The legal age for these workers is eighteen, but sometimes sixteen and seventeen-year-olds could work for shorter periods. These workers migrated from the countryside to urban sectors and they mostly traveled alone. The illegality of hiring these young girls often involved borrowed IDs, and many girls never trusted others, only giving out fake names and personal information. Not every working woman in the city can be called "dagongmei". Dagongmei were not female white-collared workers in the city, but rather, they must display "the double characteristics of being a peasant and a woman," which illustrates their marginal and vulnerable position in the urban society.
