Influence of life course events on migrants'settlement intention
The life course events of migrants are important practices in daily life,and their impact on migrants is related to the vital interests of migrants and the sustainable development of urbanization.Using the data of China Migrants Dynamic Survey in 2018(absence of data Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan),migrants'settle-ment intention was measured,and binary logistic regression models was established to explore the impact mechanism.The life course events in each stage of the life cycle of migrants will trigger their thoughts on whether to stay or leave in the receiving cities.The main findings are as follows:1)The proportion of migrants who intend to stay in the receiving cities is 85.10％and the probability of re-migration in a shorter period of time is low.78.39％migrants who intent to stay in the receiving cities intend to stay for a long time and there are significant differences among cities.2)Graduation makes migrants tend to stay for a short period of time.Having children in the receiving city and children's age near to primary or junior high school age significantly increase the probability of migrants'settlement or long-term settlement intention.The deterioration of physical condition could increase settlement intention but have no significant impact on their long-term settlement.Mar-riage,losing job and retirement could increase migrants'long-term settlement intention by the effects from characteristics of families or individuals.3)Migrants'characteristics of demography,family,migration and cit-ies'features have different effects on migrants'settlement intention or long-term settlement intention.Finally,suggestions for high-quality urbanization of migrants are put forward in terms of housing,fertility,health,and education,including creating long-term job opportunities and living conditions for professional and skilled tal-ents;improving policies on public rental houses and co-ownership houses to reduce the cost of marriage for mi-grants;popularizing cities'public healthcare and health services;granting equal educational rights to migrant children,and creatiing an elderly friendly city.
