城乡流动、户籍转换与社会地位认同感

Rural-to-urban Migration,Hukou Transition and Sense of Social Identity

社会地位认同感是衡量农村群体“入市”质量的重要因素之一。从户籍转换的视角检验了农村进城群体的社会地位认同感评价。我们发现户籍转换能够一定程度上提升农村群体的社会地位认同感,同时,为解决反向因果以及户籍转换自选择过程导致的内生性问题,进一步采用了工具变量和倾向得分匹配等方法进行了深入分析,并得出了一致、稳健的因果关系。此外,还基于性别进行了异质性讨论。研究表明,降低农村进城群体的户籍约束,同时出台针对性帮扶措施,是新时期促进农村群体高质量落户和城乡居民融合的重要政策着眼点。

Social identity is one of the key factors for measuring the quality of rural-to-urban migration.This paper studies the evaluation of social identity of rural migrants from the perspective of Hukou transition.The results illustrate that Hukou transition can raise the social identity of rural migrants in urban area.In order to solve the endogeneity originated from the reversed causality and self-selection process,this paper introduces the instrumental variable and propensity score matching methods to obtain the exact causal effect which is robust and in accordance with the previous benchmark results.Furthermore,heterogeneity analysis is incorporated via subgroups of gender.In all,this paper illustrates the importance of policy implication of reducing the Hukou constrain,specific assistance to rural labors and so on in order to improve their social identity.
