农民工定居城市倾向的经济学分析

Economic analysis on the tendency for the settling down of rural migrant workers in the city

为了探讨促进农民工定居城市成为市民和提高中国城市化水平的道路和途径,对比农民工的城乡生活成本和收入,从"经济人"假设出发对农民工选择移居城市的决定性因素进行了分析。研究表明,城乡生活成本的差距和城乡收入水平的高低决定着农民工定居城市成为市民的倾向;农村家庭的收入水平决定着返乡农民是否能够坚持已经形成的城市化的生活方式。分析结果表明,有效地控制城市生活成本的增长、提高农民工务工收入、促进返乡农民从事高附加值农业生产将决定未来中国城市化进程的速度和质量。

To analyze the living cost and income level of urban and rural areas,this paper discusses approaches to accelerate the settling down of rural migrant workers in urban areas and improve the urbanization level of China.The study has found that the tendency of their settling down in the urban areas largely depended on the difference of living cost and income level between urban and rural areas.And whether rural migrant workers return to rural areas or keep on urban living style in their rural live after their return largely depended on their income level.So,in order to accelerate urbanization in China,controlling the increment speed of living cost in urban areas,increasing income of rural migrant workers are the two impartant things that should be paid more attention to.
