摘要
摘要本文调查了2014年后中国大城市移民控制政策对亲子分离的影响。该政策的关键举措之一是限制流动儿童在城市接受公共教育。我们采用了两种实证方法：一种是利用不同城市政策实施压力的差异，另一种是利用不同城市和不同时间对移民儿童接受教育的限制的差异。我们发现，这项政策有助于增加儿童被遗弃的可能性。这种影响在社会经济地位低下家庭和义务教育年龄的儿童中最为突出。几乎没有证据表明，这项政策导致了城市农民工家庭构成的变化。
Abstract
Abstract This paper investigates the effects of a migration control policy in mega cities after 2014 in China on parent–child separation. One of the key initiatives of the policy is to restrict the access of migrant children to public education in cities. We employ two empirical approaches: one that leverages variations in policy implementation pressure across cities, and another that exploits variations in restrictions on migrant children’s access to education across cities and over time. We find that the policy contributes to an increased probability of children being left behind. The impact is most salient among children from families of low socio-economic status and at the compulsory-education age. Little evidence indicates that the policy causes a change in the composition of the migrant families in cities.
