Age Profiles and Characteristics of Interprovincial Floating Population in China——Type Analysis Based on Provincial Scale
Based on microdata from the seventh national population census,this study focuses on the flow floating population to examine the age profiles of interprovincial migration in China's provinces.Utilizing clustering analysis,the study categorizes the age-specific out-migration rates and in-migration rates of 31 provinces in China,synthesizing them into five distinct types.The analysis reveals substantial variations in age-specific migration rates among the provinces.Four patterns of out-migration and five patterns of in-migration can summarize the age profiles of interprovincial migrants.Furthermore,by considering the overall out-migration and in-migration rates of each province,a comprehensive classification of provincial age profiles into five types is derived.These findings provide relevant parameters for future regional population projections.Additionally,the paper addresses the issue of defining migration popu-lation,highlights the regional disparities in age patterns that reflect the geographical transition of population migration in China,and underscores the regional variations in the issue of floating population(or even the population issue)in China.
