基于私人成本与私人收益的农民工市民化意愿研究

Research on Rural Migrant Workers’Wish for Urbanization on the Basis of Private Cost and Private Benefit

农民工市民化有利于提高农村劳动生产率、提高社会资源利用率、促进城市发展、增加人力资本存量、构建和谐社会。农民工市民化意愿的强弱直接关系到农民工市民化的行为。农民工市民化意愿取决于农民工市民化的私人成本和私人收益,私人收益减去私人成本的净收益越大则农民工市民化意愿越强,反之越弱。农民工市民化的私人成本包括生存成本、转移成本、风险成本、精神成本、制度成本和机会成本,农民工市民化的私人收益包括增加收入、增加就业、改善生活质量、改善医疗条件、改善就学条件、提高个人素质。强化农民工市民化意愿,引导农民工市民化,促进我国城市化健康发展,就是要实施有利于增加农民工市民化私人收益和降低农民工市民化私人成本的对策措施。
