Barriers to High School Entrance Exam and Children of Migrants Being Left Behind
We construct an index to measure the barriers for high school entrance exam of migrant children from 2013 to 2018 in 72 cities and comprehensively summarize the policy over time and across re-gions.We find that in cities with higher barriers,the probability of children being left behind significantly increases as they are approaching to high school entrance exam,and this impact is higher among low-skilled families.Moreover,we find little evidence that the barriers significantly change the migration deci-sions of parents as their children's grades increase,indicating that the baseline results are not driven by self-selection of migrants.
