“合力式家庭城市化”的过程和影响研究——基于68个第一代农民工家庭的分析

The Process and Consequences of Joint-force Family Urbanization——An Analysis Based on 68 Families of First-generation Migrant Workers

来自家庭层面的微观数据分析发现,农民会根据家庭结构和其他家庭因素的变化,灵活地采用夫妻分工、代际分工和混合分工等多种分工形式,保证家庭成员弹性地选择进城还是回乡,因而农民进城的动态过程呈现出"合力式家庭城市化"的特征。家庭分工、城乡联结和资源积累等三大机制是"合力式家庭城市化"的内在结构,这种渐进式城市化道路充分地反映了农民的家庭理性,它兼具发展性和稳定性的经济和社会功能。"合力式家庭城市化"揭示了涓涓细流的家庭城市化汇聚成波澜壮阔的中国城市化的过程,深化和修正了对"半城市化"的认识,对于制定与城乡发展相关的政策具有重要启示意义。

Based on the analysis of micro-data at home level, according to changes in family structure and other family factors, it is found that farmers will flexibly adopt various forms of division of labor such as the division of labor between husband and wife, inter-generational division of labor, and mixed division of labor to ensure that family members’ flexible choosing to between entering the city and returning home, which illustrates the micro features of Joint-force Family Urbanization. The three major mechanisms of family division of labor, urban-rural linkages, and resource accumulation are the internal structures of joint-force family urbanization. This gradual urbanization path fully reflects the farmers’ family rationality, which is both developmental and stable, and with obviously economic and social functions. Joint-force Family Urbanization reveals how micro family urbanization is integrated with macro national urbanization in China, which gives important references to the policy decision concerning the development of both urban and rural areas.
