消费行为与农民工社会融合

Consumption Behaviors and Social Integration of Migrant Workers

在群体异质性视角下,对农民工社会融合的状况以及消费行为对其产生的影响进行比较研究。研究发现农民工总体社会融合程度不高,但具有较强的融入意愿,消费水平的提高对农民工社会融合存在明显促进作用。分类研究发现,消费行为仅对新生代农民工社会融合存在显著积极影响,而对老一代农民工的影响不显著,同时对男性农民工的作用强于女性农民工;理性型消费行为能够提高农民工社会融合程度,而冲动型消费行为却会阻碍农民工融入城市,但是节俭型和炫耀型消费行为对农民工社会融合不会产生显著影响。

This paper comparatively analyzes the situation and impact of participation of consumption behaviors on social integration of migrant workers from group heterogeneity perspective. The study indicates that the level of social integration of migrant workers is not high,although they have intense integration desire. The increase of consumption can promote social integration of migrant workers significantly. The paper discovers that consumption behaviors will only affect migrant workers of new generation,and will generate stronger impact on male migrant workers than female migrant workers. Eventually,rational consumption behaviors can aggrandize social integration of migrant workers,but,irrational consumption behaviors will undermine social integration. And the effect of frugal and showy consumption behaviors is not notable.
