Internal Migration Policies in China: Patterns and Determinants of the Household Registration Reform Policy Design in 2014
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2023
Abstract
This study exploits rich data sources to investigate city-level patterns of internal migration policies in response to the reform of Chinese household registration and the economic, political and sociocultural determinants that drive policy approaches. First, we collected and systematically coded policy documents from 231 cities. Cluster analyses showed that the majority of cities (63%) adopted less lenient selection policies while offering integrative social welfare policies. Rights to internal migration remain selectively granted in China, yet rights to welfare have become more equitable than they were in the past because of the reform. Second, multinomial regression analyses showed that economic development and growth are related to selection policies that are more lenient towards high-skilled migrants, whereas top-down controls of superior governments, local politicians’ characteristics (e.g. tenure concerns and hometown favouritism) and migrants’ sociocultural environments (e.g. pre-existing labour disputes) account for both selection and integration policies.
摘要
本文使用丰富数据探索城市层面流动人口政策对中国 2014 年户籍改革的反应及其经济、政治与社会文化决定因素。第一,我们收集 231 个城市的政策文件并进行系统编码。聚类分析显示大多数城市(63%)采取了更宽容的选择政策,同时提供了整合的社会福利政策。这说明虽然流动的权利仍被选择性地赋予,但福利权利相比改革前更加平等。第二,多项式回归分析显示经济发展与增长与对高技术移民更宽容的选择政策相关,但自上而下的治理控制、地方官员特征(如任期考虑和故乡偏袒)、流动人口社会文化环境(如早期就存在的劳动争议)同时决定了选择政策和融合政策。
