子女教养观念、入学门槛与市民化意愿

Parenting Concept,Enrollment Threshold,and Willingness of Citizenization among Migrant Workers

市民化进程不仅受到制度性劳动力流动障碍的影响,还会受观念因素的制约。本文利用2010年、2012年和2013年中国综合社会调查(CGSS)数据、2017年全国流动人口动态监测调查数据以及城市特征数据,研究了流动人口来源地子女教养观念对市民化的作用。研究发现,协作培养型的教养观念令流动人口流入入学门槛更低的城市,并促使流动人口离开当前居住的入学门槛较高的城市,这一作用在高教育水平的群体中更强。本文的政策含义是,可通过降低外来人员子女的入学门槛来加速市民化的进程。

The process of citizenization is affected not only by institutional barriers to labor mobility, but also by conceptual factors. Combining data from CGSS(2010, 2012, 2013), China Migrants Dynamic Survey in 2017,and prefectural-level city characteristics, this paper examines the effect of migrants’ parenting concept on their citizenization. We find that having concerted cultivation concept will make migrants choose cities with lower school enrollment threshold, while bypassing cities with higher enrollment threshold for their children. This effect is significantly stronger among the highly educated migrants. An implication from this paper is that the citizenization process could be accelerated by lowering the school enrollment threshold for migrant children.
