Economic Analysis and Countermeasures of Migrant Workers' Problems

Generation and development of migrant workers' problems are analyzed from the perspective of economics. There are economic factors causing migrant workers' problems: imbalance in the industrial structure brings farmers living pressure; urban modern civilization is attractive to farmers; urban economic development needs a large number of agricultural laborers engaged in manual labor. Moreover, relevant countermeasures are proposed. The dual economic structure is to be broken to gradually eliminate the barrier between urban and rural areas; an unified and standard labor market is to be established to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas; overall considerations should be taken and the reform of matching system should be quickened; the construction of urbanization is to be duly promoted to improve the level of modernization in the countryside.

超国家福利边界的演化:欧盟流动劳动力社会保障协调制度的“效”与“限”

欧盟流动劳动力社会保障协调制度运行60余年,学界对其先进性已有共识。但本文在梳理欧盟社会保障协调制度在养老金、医疗保险和家庭福利项目上的具体制度安排后发现,三个项目在可获得性、可携带性、可输出性指标上差异较大,且流动劳动力群体内部存在福利分层,欧盟层面宣扬的“非歧视”“平等待遇”等目标未能有效实现。进而,本文运用福利边界理论解释造成欧盟协调制度有限性的根本原因,认为多层权力结构和嵌套式公民身份形成欧盟超国家福利边界的“叠层式”样态,“叠层式”特质表现为超国家权力的有限性、对福利国家福利边界渗透的有限性以及复杂制度网络的多重削弱性等,最终导致欧盟对流动劳动力的社会保障只能达成有限协调,无法完全实现其超国家性目标。

农民工市民化进程中社会保障制度困境及优化研究--基于整体性治理视域

农民工市民化是社会经济发展的必然趋势,是解决农民工问题的根本途径。农民工享有社会保障是其市民化的关键,然而,农民工社会保障存在着法规不完善、制度碎片化、项目不健全和供给模式单一等制度困境,以整体性治理理论为指导,系统地分析农民工社会保障的制度困境,完善农民工社会保障的政府治理体系和支撑制度,优化农民工社会保障的制度环境,创新农民工社会保障制度,维护农民工社会保障权益,促进农民工市民化。

农民工收入现状、关键问题与优化路径

本文利用国家层面宏观和微观数据,分析了党的十八大以来我国农民工收入变动情况,探讨了促进农民工收入稳定增长的关键问题,并提出了主要思路及优化路径。研究表明,2012—2022年我国农民工收入保持稳定增长趋势,从收入来源看,工资性收入占比最高,其次是经营性收入,而财产性收入和转移性收入占比较低;分特征组来看,外出务工、东部地区、从事交通运输仓储和邮政业的农民工收入水平普遍更高。但农民工仍然存在收入增速放缓、动力不足,与城镇职工收入差距大等问题;分项收入中,存在工资性收入不稳定,经营性收入占比下降,财产性收入来源单一,转移性收入城乡差距大等关键问题。本文提出促进农民工增收的主要思路是理清本地农民工与外出农民工、进城农民工与返乡农民工、老年农民工与新生代农民工、农民工与城镇职工四组关系,分类施策。今后应聚焦高质量充分就业增加工资性收入,支持就业创业增加非农经营性收入,深化农村改革扩大财产性收入,完善社会保障体系增加转移性收入等优化路径,并注重调节农民工与城镇职工的收入差距,促进农民工持续稳定增收。

社会保障何以影响农民工城市定居意愿?——基于土地流转视角

我国城镇化进入提质减速阶段,农民工在城市定居关系着城镇化的速度和质量,而夯实定居基础、分摊定居成本对其城市定居意愿的影响日益凸显。基于土地流转视角,文章运用2019年安徽省7个市农民工调查数据,利用Logit模型对城镇社会保障对农民工城市定居意愿的影响开展实证分析。研究结果表明:城镇居民医疗保险和养老保险均能显著提高农民工城市定居意愿;土地流转对城镇居民养老保险与农民工城市定居意愿关系的调节效应正向显著,土地流转和城镇居民养老保险具有显著的互补性,即土地所承担的养老保障和流转使用权所获的财产收益,弥补了社会保障制度供给不足带来的权益缺位,进而出现定居意愿的差异。研究结果可为完善城镇社会保障制度、促进新型城镇化发展等相关政策制定提供依据。

社会保障对农民工回流意愿有影响吗?——基于上海调查数据的实证分析

文章以城乡二元户籍制度为背景,基于上海农民工问卷调查数据,实证分析社会保障因素对农民工回流意愿的影响,并得出以下结论:社会保障因素对农民工回流意愿有重要影响,参加城镇养老保险、城镇医疗保险、城镇失业保险的农民工回流意愿较弱;控制经济因素和个人因素后,参加农村养老保险、农村医疗保险的农民工回流意愿明显增强,参加城镇工伤保险的农民工回流意愿明显减弱,而参加城镇养老保险、城镇医疗保险对农民工回流意愿的影响程度下降。个人及家庭因素中,新生代农民工、教育程度较高者、子女在本地上学者的回流意愿较弱;经济因素中,收入水平较高者回流意愿较弱。

劳动保护、工作福利、社会保障与农民工城镇就业

基于上海1446份农民工调查样本所建立的有序Probit模型及实证分析显示,工资收入、工作福利、社会保障、个性特征对农民工城镇就业有显著影响,而劳动保护、权益侵犯的影响并不显著。工资收入等经济因素是影响农民工城镇就业的核心因素,农民工劳动保护和权益保护意识还不强。因此,要应对"民工荒",关键是要满足农民工的物质需求,给予农民工实实在在的经济利益,特别是企业要提供较高的工资水平和良好的工作福利,城镇相关部门要提供较完善的社会保障并关注农民工在城镇的生活支出和成本等。该研究对于揭示"民工荒"的成因,保持农村劳动力有序、平稳、持续地向城镇转移,具有重要意义。

城乡分割、区域分割与流动人口社会保障缺失

基于大规模的流动人口调查数据,本文研究了城乡分割和区域分割对城市外来流动人口社会保障的影响。利用变量法的IVProbit模型进行回归估计,尝试解决劳动者的工资与参加社会保险之间的内生性问题。研究结果发现:第一,外来流动人口参加社会保险存在严重的城乡分割和区域分割效应;第二,区域分割效应大于城乡分割效应;第三,若不解决工资与社会保险参保之间的内生性问题,则将低估外来流动人口参加社会保险的城乡分割效应和区域分割效应。

农民工的社会保障与城市融入分析

农民工城市融入问题已经成为当前学术界和各级政府关注的焦点。利用2010年湖北省流动人口动态监测数据,对农民工在城社会保障状况做了分析,并从微观经济学的视角,借助计量经济学工具,研究了社会保障状况对农民工城市融入的影响。参与医疗保险和失业保险对于农民工城市融入水平的提高有着显著的正向作用。签订无固定期限劳动合同对农民工的城市融入有积极影响。缴纳过住房公积金的农民工相比未缴纳者城市融入水平更高;居住在廉租房对农民工的城市融入起正向作用,而居住在免费房或租房则起着反向作用。

教育人力资本、企业所有制与农民工社会保障获得

对国家卫计委2010年12月进行的流动人口监测调查数据的研究发现,教育人力资本和企业所有制性质对农民工获得各类社会保障项目具有重要影响。具体表现为:第一,较高的教育水平能够显著提高农民工的各类社会保障项目获取能力。第二,接受过职业培训能够显著提高农民工各类社会保障项目的参保率。第三,就业单位的所有制性质显著影响农民工的各类社会保障项目覆盖率。这些结果说明农民工不再仅仅是各类社会保障项目的被动接受者,在获得社会保障项目时已经具有一定的主动权。因此,在加大推进不同所有制企业为农民工购买各类社会保障项目的同时,也应该提高农民工的教育水平,加强农民工的职业培训,以增强农民工对于各类社会保障项目的获取能力。

新生代农民工住房选择影响因素分析:基于CGSS数据的实证检验

使用CGSS 2013年的数据分析新生代农民工在务工地的住房来源和住房质量,并运用多元有序Logistic和无序多分类logistic模型对新生代农民工住房选择的影响因素进行分析,其结果显示:女性和受教育程度越高者,越偏向选择质量较好的社区居住,年龄因素对新生代农民工的购房和租房均具有正面的影响,子女随迁的新生代农民工更愿意在务工地长期发展和定居,更倾向于质量高的住房;参加社会养老保险有利于抵御未来不确定性风险,对新生代农民工的住房选择有积极正面的影响;职业种类越好的新生代农民工越倾向于在务工地租房和购房。由此可见,进一步推动户籍制度改革,完善包括养老、教育、医疗等在内的社会保障体系,逐渐实现住房保障在城乡间的一体化,将有助于推动新生代农民工住房问题的有效解决。

将农民工纳入住房公积金制度保障体系的探讨

随着中国构建和谐社会和统筹城乡发展的推进,农民工住房问题被越来越多地关注。解决农民工住房问题既依赖于充足、适宜的房源,又取决于农民工自身的消费能力,设立农民工住房公积金是使两者相适应的一条有效途径。文章深入分析了农民工住房公积金的缴存与现存住房公积金政策的矛盾,并对解决农民工公积金问题需要采取的措施给出了建议。
