流动人口家庭化的现状与特点:流动过程特征分析

在明确界定核心概念的基础上,借助具有时效性和代表性的调查数据,描述了流动人口的流动过程特征。人口流动模式存在家庭式和非家庭式流动双峰并存的特点;家庭成员多分批达到流入地,家庭团聚具有梯次性。但是,在中部地区和跨县流者中,完整家庭式流动的比例最高,家庭成员团聚的批次较少、间隔较短,而在经济发达和欠发达之地,完整家庭式流动的比例都低,折射出发达地区家庭团聚的门槛或生活成本较高,而欠发达地区优质资源的不足对流动人口携家带口的吸引力不够。

The Process of Familization of Migration in China

Based on clear definitions of major concepts, and drawing on nationally representative and timely data, this paper depicts the process of familization of migration.Findings suggest that both non-family migration and family migration co-exist, and that members of nuclear family tend to arrive at the place of destination sequentially. However, such national pattern disguises regional differences; it has been discovered that central provinces and inter-prefecture migration are associated with a higher proportion of family migration, a fewer times and shorter time span for all family member to reunion, while in east and westprovinces, the pattern is the opposite. The lower proportion of familization of migration in more developed areas may reflect a higher threshold for family reunion andexpensive living cost, preventingfamily reunion in receiving society, while inadequate resources in underdeveloped areas discourage migrants to bring in family members to the place of destination.
