随迁对农民工家庭儿童认知能力的影响效应研究

Effect of Migration on Children's Cognitive Ability in Off-farm Workers' Family

基于中国教育追踪调查(CEPS) 2013-2014年基线调查数据,将随迁儿童和留守儿童置于同一研究框架,采用PSM方法消除样本自选择问题,估计随迁对农民工家庭儿童认知能力的影响效应,同时从儿童性别、随迁模式、父母文化水平、迁入城市、迁入学校五个方面进行了随迁效应分组估计。结果显示,整体上随迁有利于儿童认知发展,但在不同条件下这种影响效应有所差异,农民工家庭应该根据自身实际情况决定儿童的随迁决策,迁入地政府也需要进一步加强对随迁儿童的接纳,保障随迁儿童享受城市公立教育的权利。

Comparing the cognitive ability of migrant children and left-behind children based on the CEPS survey data,this paper eliminates the self-selection problem with PSM method and estimates the effect of migration on children’s cognitive ability.The result shows that children averagely benefit from migration,but the effect varies from different genders,migration modes,parents’cultural levels,city types and school types,under some conditions,the effect is insignificant or negative.
