Rural Migrants' Citizenization and Family Migration——Empirical Analysis Based on China Migrants Dynamic Survey
Improving the well-being of rural migrants' families is an important part of modernization.Based on the comparative volumes of registered residence and migrant residents in the China Migrants Dynamic Survey,this paper studies the impact of citizenization on the completeness of rural migrants' family migration from the perspective of the availability of public services.The study finds that the improvement of citizenization level can reduce the probability of choosing incomplete migration such as solo-migration,non-core family migration and semi-core family migration,and increase the probability of choosing complete core family migration.The impact pathway is the sense of belonging in the local area.The promotion effects of citizenization on complete family migration are almost the same between groups with different education levels,but there are significant differences when it comes to the mobility duration and convenience of taking care of parents.Under the combined effects of immediate benefits,long-term benefits and costs,the level of employment,housing and healthcare citizenization have a significant positive promoting effect respectively,while the overall positive promoting effect of social security citizenization is positive,but not significant.The level of education citizenization has a significant positive effect on incomplete family migration,indicating that obtaining long-term benefits of intergenerational mobility through incomplete migration under higher living costs is a better choice.
