方言距离、城市包容性与流动人口的社会融入

Dialect Distance, Urban Inclusiveness and Social Integration of Migrants

采用2017年全国流动人口动态监测调查数据,在同一框架下研究方言距离、城市包容性及两者的交互效应对流动人口社会融入的影响及其作用机制。研究发现,方言距离不利于流动人口的社会融入,而城市包容性促进了流动人口的社会融入,同时能够缓解方言距离的负面影响。机制分析表明,方言距离阻碍流动人口的社会参与和社会交往,而城市包容性在促进流动人口社会参与和社会交往的同时弱化了方言距离的负面效应。进一步分析发现,收入并非方言距离的作用机制,跨方言流动反而提高了流动人口的工资收入,这意味着方言距离阻碍劳动要素实现边际收益最大化的流动和配置。

Using data from the 2017 National Population Dynamics Monitoring Survey, this paper studies the impact and mechanism of dialect distance, urban inclusiveness, and their interaction on the social integration of migrants under the same framework. The study found that dialect distance hinders the social integration of migrants, while urban inclusiveness can promote social integration and can alleviate the negative impact of dialect distance. The mechanism analysis shows that dialect distance hinders the social participation and social interaction of the migrants, while urban inclusiveness weakens the negative effect of dialect distance while promoting the social participation and social interaction. Income is not the mechanism of action of dialect distance, and cross-dialect mobility instead increases the income of the migrants, which means that dialect distance hinders the flow and allocation of labor factors to maximize the marginal benefit.
