中国农民工的整体社会网络特征分析

Analysis of Whole Social Network Properties of Rural-urban Migrants in China

文章采用深圳外来农村流动人口专项调查的整体网络数据,以社会网络为视角,分别从二人层次、三人层次以及整体网络层次,分析不同类型农民工群体的社会支持网和社会讨论网的网络特征。研究发现,农民工社会支持网的二方关系、三方关系及整体网络特征指标均明显高于社会讨论网;由于受性别、职业和年龄等因素影响,不同地点、同一类型社会网络特征以及同一地点、不同类型的社会网络特征均有不同程度的差异。

Using the whole network data of rural-urban migrants in Shenzhen city, this paper analyzes network properties of social support networks in terms of instrumental, emotional, and social contact support and social discussion networks about marriage, childbearing, contraception and old-age support issues. Different types of migrants’ social networks are analyzed at dyads and triads level and properties of the whole networks are also explored. The results indicate that dyads, triads and parameters of whole networks for social support networks are significantly greater than social discussion networks. Influenced by gender, age and occupation etc., the properties of the whole networks of the same type differ among the survey sites, so do those of the different types of networks within the same survey site.
