户籍放开与行动悖论:主体性视角的新生代农民工户籍选择

Household Registration Liberalization and Action Paradox: Household Registration Choice of the New Generation of Migrant Workers from the Perspective of Subjectivity

中国户籍政策改革目的是提高户籍城镇化率,但与新的户籍政策初衷相背离的是,伴随着中小城市户籍的放开,新生代农民工在满足落户条件、户籍改革保留土地权益的情况下仍然不愿落户城市。从主体性视角出发,在对多名新生代农民工深入调查基础上,分析了新生代农民工户籍选择的逻辑。流动性下的家乡依赖惯习、把城市作为就业地而不是归属与生活地的目标选择、成本—收益的对比等导致了新生代农民工不愿意落户城市。户籍城镇化改革要考虑新生代农民工的主体性诉求,循序渐进地推进新生代农民工的户籍城镇化。

The reform of China’s household registration policy aims to improve the urbanization rate of household registration. However, contrary to the original intention of the new household registration policy, with the liberalization of household registration in small and medium-sized cities, the new generation of migrant workers are still reluctant to settle down in cities even if they meet the requirements for household registration and retain their land rights under the household registration reform. From the perspective of subjectivity, based on the in-depth investigation of the new generation of migrant workers, this paper analyzes the logic of the new generation of migrant workers’ household registration choice. The new generation of migrant workers are reluctant to settle in cities due to their hometown dependence on habitus under mobility, the goal selection of taking city as employment place rather than home and living place, and the cost-benefit comparison. The reform of household registration urbanization should consider the subjective demands of the new generation of migrant workers and gradually promote the household registration urbanization of them.
