家属随迁何以影响农民工城镇化融合?

Does Family Members' Migration of Migrant Workers Increase the Integration of Urbanization?

基于2016年"中国流动人口卫生计生动态监测调查"湖北省的数据,本文运用OLS回归及Treatment回归等方法实证检验了农民工家属随迁对城镇化融合的影响。研究发现:第一,农民工家属随迁能够显著促进其城镇化融合。第二,不同类型的家属随迁对农民工城镇化融合具有异质性:两两组合下,配偶和子女同时随迁对城镇化融合的影响较大。进一步地,全部直系亲属一同随迁对城镇化融合的影响效应最大。第三,农民工家属随迁促进其城镇化融合的机制主要是通过家庭随迁的正式雇佣效应和城市定居行为效应的渠道。本文的发现有助于更好地理解农民工家属随迁对其城镇化融合的影响,且在一定程度上进一步验证了新经济迁移理论在中国劳动力迁移中的适用性。基于研究结论,建议相关部门为农民工子女提供更好的教育条件,以及为农民工亲属提供更高水平的就业和社会福利保障,促进其随迁行为,从而进一步提升农民工城镇化融合水平。

Based on the data of“China Migrant Population Health and Family Planning Dynamic Monitoring Survey”in 2016,this paper uses OLS regression,Treatment regression and other methods to empirically test the impact of migrant workers family migration on their urbanization integration,and uses Logit model to discuss the impact mechanism of migrant workers family migration on their urbanization integration.In addition,this paper also analyzes the heterogeneity of the impact of different types of family migration on the urbanization integration of migrant workers.We found that,first,migrant workers families moving with them can significantly promote their urbanization integration.Second,the accompanying migration of family members with different combinations has heterogeneity to the urbanization integration of migrant workers.Furthermore,all the immediate family members who move with them have the greatest impact on urbanization integration.Third,the mechanism to promote the integration of urbanization is mainly through the channels of formal employment effect and urban settlement effect.The findings of this paper help to better understand the impact of migrant workers families migration on their urbanization integration,and to some extent further verify the applicability of the new economic migration theory in China s labor migration.
