The issue of the upbringing and education of these children, whether ＂left behind＂ or ＂migrating,＂ has always been a major concern of society and the academic world. This article aims to understand the factors affecting whether these children ＂stay behind＂ in their hometown or ＂flow＂ to the city through analysis of the child-rearing and education patterns reflected in survey information on over 3,000 migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta in 2006. We find that, after controlling for individual and family factors, regional differences in migrant workers＇ origins remains an important factor influencing whether children ＂stay behind＂ or ＂migrate.＂ The causes and mechanisms behind the existence of ＂regional barriers＂ is an issue worth further exploration.展开更多
