人口流动如何影响主观幸福感——基于主观社会地位的中介效应

How Does Migration Affect Subjective Well-being: Mediating Effect Based on Subjective Social Status

中国城镇化背景下的大规模人口流动现象一直都是学术界关注的焦点,但是人口流动行为与迁移个体的主观幸福感之间的关系鲜有研究。采用2014年中国劳动力动态调查(CLDS)数据,通过倾向得分匹配法研究迁移人群对幸福感认知的中介作用机制。研究结果发现:迁移行为显著影响个体的主观幸福感;主观社会地位对于迁移行为-主观幸福感的关系具有明显的中介作用。最后,对于该研究的理论贡献和实践意义进行了讨论,并指出了未来的研究方向。

Large-scale migration has always been the focus of academic communities in the context of urbanization in China. However, limited attention has been paid to the relationship between migrant behavior and subjective well-being of migrants. Utilizing the database of China Labor Force Dynamic Survey(CLDS), this paper investigates the mediating mechanism of migrants’ perception of individual subjective well-being by using the propensity score matching(PSM) method. The results suggest that the behavior of migration significantly affects subjective well-being, while subjective social statue has a significant mediating effect on the relationship between migration behavior and individual subjective well-being. Finally, it discusses the theoretical contributions and practical implications of this paper and points out the direction for future research.
