The Impact of Family Aged Care on Middle-Aged Labor Migration in Rural China
In order to explore the impact of rural elderly care responsibilities on middle-aged labor migration,this paper established a labor migration decision-making model based on data from China Family Panel Studies(CFPS),and incorporated family elderly care as a core explanatory variable.It is found that family eldercare has become an important limiting factor for middle-aged labor migration,which has a significant impact on the stability and mode of migration;besides,this impact continues to be exacerbated by the increase of care intensity.The heterogeneity analysis shows that in terms of gender,middle-aged men are more active in the face of family eldercare needs.In terms of family structure,there is a phenomenon of all children shouldering the burden together in multi-child families.It is proposed that through measures such as improving family care abilities and public elderly care systems in rural areas,as well as exploring local non-agricultural employment opportunities,family eldercare and middle-aged labor migration can be coordinated.
