Study on the Impact of Family Migration on the Relative Poverty of Migrant Workers
The relationship between labor migration and poverty has been widely discussed,but there are few studies on the relationship between family migration and the relative poverty of migrant workers.Using the data from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey,and comprehensively using the econometric analysis model to systematically investigate the impact of family migration on the relative poverty of migrant workers.The results show that family migration will significantly increase the relative poverty of migrant workers;family migration may cause migrant workers to fall into a disadvantageous situation in employment(unstable employment and low work-ing income),and then affect the degree of relative poverty;the impact of family migration on the relative poverty of migrant workers is heterogeneous in different genders,cohorts,and education level.Therefore,it is necessary to improve the family development ability of migrant workers'families at the overall level and focus on improving the employment status of migrant workers,to alleviate the adverse impact of family migration on the relative poverty of migrant workers.
