Full textAbstract:
The dissertation investigates the interrelationship between migration and family behaviours, marriage and fertility, in the Chinese context. I apply event history techniques using data from an ethno-survey, several national-level censuses and population sample survey. Chapter 2 explores the effect of international migration on marriage chance for males and females separately. Chapter 3 studies how international migration affects fertility under the condition that the country of origin experienced strong family policies, e.g., the one-child policy. Chapter 4 explores how spousal separation due to migration affects marital fertility at couple level. The dissertation adds an interesting country case of understanding the interrelationship between migration and family events. Moreover, it accounts for the correlation between events due to unobserved characteristics. Lastly, it emphasizes the importance of socio-economic status in shaping the migration and family dynamics.La investigació tracta la interrelació entre la migració i els comportaments familiars, el matrimoni i la fertilitat, en el context xinès.

Full textAbstract:
It has been widely documented that migrant labourers have made great contributions to the urban economy of China; as well, the explosive growth of rural-urban migrants has generated several "migration problems," such as growing social inequality in urban China. It is widely reported that a large number of migrants have returned to their places of origin, after several years of "urban life," and this trend has been accelerated after the global economic crisis after 2008. Consequently, the large number of return migrants have created many problems in the cities, such as labour shortage in the manufacturing industry, and also posed a huge challenge to the rural areas in the resettlement of these returnees. In sum, to understand both the migrants in destination cities and return migrants in their places of origin is of great importance for both urban and rural development in China.
The research so far, on the understanding of migrants' behaviour and labour market outcomes in a multi-phased migration process, seems highly controversial and therefore, insufficient. This study, based on migrant survey data collected in Fujian Province, and return migrant interview data collected in Sichuan and Jiangxi Provinces, explores migrant labour market outcomes in the cities, as well as their geographical differentiation; migrant return intentions, and their gender differentiations; return behaviour and the resettlement situations of actual returnees. The results show that the multi-phased migration process of rural migrants in China is synthetically shaped by macro, meso, and micro factors, and by the interactions between these factors. To be more specific, findings of this study indicate that migrant labour markets in urban China are largely geographically differentiated according to several regional characteristics. The study also finds that a large proportion of rural-urban migrants intends to return to their places of origin. As well, their return intentions are significantly gender-differentiated. Finally, the resettlement situations of return migrants are closely connected to their migration experience.ix, 160 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm

Ma, Huan. "Migration for grandchildren: grandmothering of rural-urban migrant elderly in China." HKBU Institutional Repository, 2018. https://repository.hkbu.edu.hk/etd_oa/520.
Full textAbstract:
In recent years, an increasing number of rural grandmothers in mainland China have migrated to cities for the sake of their grandchildren and to share the burden of childcare with their adult children. In childrearing cooperation, the rural-urban migrant grandmothers face not only intergenerational differences but also rural-urban differences in childrearing. When rural-urban grandmothers provide childrearing assistance in cities, their grandmothering is influenced by the urban childrearing discourse through their cooperation with urban parents. However, our knowledge about their grandmothering is limited. Moreover, existing studies on the migrant elderly tend to describe grandparents as having outdated values and being passively constrained by the structure; therefore, these studies have neglect their agency. In my research, I explore how rural-urban migrant grandmothers contribute to grandchildren's daily care, education and discipline under the influence of urban childrearing discourse, which is mainly reflected in their cooperation with their adult children. I will examine both the intergenerational solidarity and conflicts in the cooperation. Moreover, inspired by the concept of agency, I argue that rural-urban migrant grandmothers are strategic agents, and I examine their agency in response to the urban childrearing discourse. My qualitative data are obtained through in-depth interviews and participant observations with 20 rural-urban migrant grandmothers in two field sites--Beijing and Taian--on mainland China. I find that the cooperation mechanism reflects flexibility, diversity and dynamic. The rural-urban grandmothers use diverse methods to cooperate with their adult children and to contribute to grandchildren's daily care, education and discipline. To fulfil their tasks, grandmothers face challenges such as uncertainty, financial disadvantages, and educational disadvantages. Moreover, the grandmothers experience many different childrearing conflicts with the parents, such as consumption, nutrition and health care. However, grandmothers can actively respond to these challenges and use the strategies of constructing an alternative discourse, using alternative methods and learning to cope with the problems. To deal with the conflicts, grandmothers emphasise two narratives: family harmony, which is most important; and, all for the child. Based on these two narratives, grandmothers use different strategies, such as direct and indirect communication, using hidden strategies, compromising, and keeping silence, when helping their adult children during childcare. Located in the context where the family is regarded as a union and the intergenerational relationship is protected, the agency of rural-urban migrant grandmothers is solidarity-oriented and altruist-oriented agency.

Full textAbstract:
This study attempted to assess the major determinants of interprovincial migration in the People's Republic of China. The findings suggest that the classical gravity and pull-push hypotheses can also find supporting evidence in the People's Republic of China. Basically, the differential socio-economic characteristics and circumstances determined interprovincial population movement, but relatively speaking, the destination factors played more important roles. Among the variables examined in the study, destination investment and agricultural income level had the strongest pull-force on migrants. On the other hand, unemployment of destination was found to have a push-force discouraging migrants. From the contrast between the positive effect of the destination investment and negative one of the destination unemployment, a conclusion was drawn that the interprovincial migration was largely job-related.
Moreover, people in the origin with a higher level of industrialization were less likely to migrate. The analysis also found that the higher level of educational attainment at the origin relative to that at the destination, the higher the migration. In addition, in spite of the similar influence of population and distance on male and female migration streams, the socio-economic conditions affected male migration stream to a larger extent than female migration streams.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
L'augmentation constante des températures combinée à la multiplication des catastrophes naturelles changent tous les jours un peu plus la donne en terme d'immigration. Pourtant, leurs effets sur la migration au sein d'un même pays ne sont que trop peu connus. La Chine, avec ses zones climatiques diverses, ses nombreuses catastrophes naturelles et son faible taux d'urbanisation, est un lieu propice à l'étude de ce phénomène. Cette thèse offre trois études empiriques qui, dans un premier temps, dresse un état des lieux des déterminants de l'urbanisation chinoise, pour ensuite évaluer l'influence des variations climatiques mais aussi d'une catastrophe naturelle sur les flux de migration entre les campagnes et les villes.Entre rivalité et synergie : Une analyse spatiale de l'urbanisation des provinces chinoises.Le chapitre 2 repense l'étude des déterminants de l'urbanisation en incluant les possibles interactions spatiales entre provinces chinoises voisines, et ce, entre 1980 et 2015. Ce travail contribue à la littérature économique en apportant des éléments nouveaux pour expliquer le développement urbain très inégal présent en Chine. Il contribue également aux travaux d'économie régionale puisque j'utilise un modèle Spatial Durbin Error (SDEM) pour tester l'existence d'interactions spatiales entre provinces. Ce faisant, je peux estimer quels sont les déterminants de l'urbanisation d'une province chinoise, tout en prenant en compte l'influence que pourrait avoir sa proximité avec d'autres villes. Les résultats montrent l'existence d'un effet de synergie entre provinces voisines. Être géographiquement proche d'une province attractive -caractérisée par un fort PIB par habitant, une population dense et un système de transport efficient- entraîne bel et bien une augmentation du taux d'urbanisation d'une province donnée. Cependant, cette relation n'est pas monotone. La croissance des villes peut engendrer de la compétition entre voisins lorsque la province voisine atteint un certain niveau de richesse économique, et donc d'attractivité. Est-ce que les villes sont des refuges pour les ruraux qui font face à des variations climatiques? Etude du cas chinois.Le chapitre 3 met en lumière le lien entre les variations climatiques et la migration rural-urbaine, entre 1992 et 2012, en China. On fait l'hypothèse implicite que les anomalies météorologiques affectent la production agricole, et de ce fait, le revenu des agriculteurs. Par conséquent, cela impacte leurs incitations mais aussi leurs moyens financiers nécessaires pour migrer vers les villes. Ce qui, par suite, influe sur la taille des villes. Ce travail contribue à la littérature en utilisant une mesure inhabituelle de l'urbanisation, qui ne dépend ni de données récoltées lors de recensement, ni d'une définition de la ville basée sur ses frontières administratives. J'utilise ainsi la luminosité des villes la nuit pour estimer la taille de celles-ci, et ce sur des données de panel à l'échelle de grids. Ce faisant, les résultats montrent l'existence d'un impact significatif des variations météorologiques tout autour d'une ville, sur la taille de celle-ci. Cet impact diffère selon la nature de l'intempérie. Un déficit de précipitations a plus de chances d'avoir des répercussions sur les flux migratoires que les surplus précipitations. Ce premier engendre un flux de migration vers les villes l'année même où la sécheresse affecte la récolte des agriculteurs, mais les résultats tendent à montrer que cette migration est temporaire et ne sert qu'à maintenir un revenu stable pour le ménage sur le court-terme. Les inondations, qui sont elles plus semblables à des catastrophes naturelles brutales, qu'un changement météorologique graduel, ont plutôt un effet négatif sur la migration. Cette différence entre les deux types de catastrophes naturelles est étudiée plus en détail dans le chapitre suivant. (...)Increasing weather variations along more frequent natural disasters set new living conditions worldwide. Yet, their impacts on internal migration are still not fully understood. China, characterized by diverse climate zones, frequent natural disasters and a still low urbanization rate, is a great field experiment to analyze this potential link. The present thesis provides three empirical studies that first give an insight on Chinese urban determinants to later investigate the implications of both weather variations and natural disasters on rural-urban migration.Between Rivalry and Synergy: A spatial analysis of urbanization in Chinese provinces.Chapter 2 revisits the study of urbanization driving forces by looking at spatial interactions among Chinese provinces over the 1980-2015 period. This work contributes to the literature by bringing new elements to explain the great diversity in China urban development. It also contributes to the regional science literature by using the Spatial Durbin Error Model to explore the presence of spatial spillovers. Using this method, I test the determinants of urbanization, controlling for the influence of close proximity to other cities. I find evidence of a synergy effect between neighboring provinces. Being close to an attractive province -characterized by a high GDP per-capita, dense population or an efficient transportation system- triggers one province urbanization. Yet, the relation is not monotonous, the urban process becomes competitive between neighboring provinces when one province reaches a certain threshold of economic wealth. Are cities shelters for rural dwellers experiencing weather variations? Evidence from China.Chapter 3 highlights the link between weather variations and rural-urban migration, between 1992 and 2012, in China. The implied hypothesis is that weather anomalies affect crop productivity as well as farmers' income. It later changes their incentives and financial means to migrate toward cities, impacting cities size. The main contribution lies on the use of an original measure of urbanization that does not rely on either census data or any urban definition based on administrative borders. Indeed, I test this assumption using a grid-level panel dataset and nighttime light intensity as a proxy for city size. I find a significant link between weather variations in surrounding areas and cities' size. Yet, the effects differ according to the type of weather variation. Rainfall shortages are more likely to affect migratory behaviors than rainfall surpluses. Results suggest that these former trigger short-term migration to cities when the latter.When does it go back to normal? A Natural Experiment on Wenchuan earthquake impact on migration to cities.Chapter 3 uses Wenchuan earthquake as a natural experiment for investigating the impact of a sudden natural hazard on city size nearby, along with the efficiency of Chinese government plan to reconstruct. I contribute to the literature by being the first to analyze out-migration from rural areas following Wenchuan earthquake. Using the Synthetic Control Method, results show negative effects of Wenchuan earthquake on Sichuan city size. In accordance with the results in this thesis previous chapter, natural hazards prevent migration from happening. Cities, also damaged by the event, no longer attract migrants. In addition, I find evidence that, three years after the shock, in 2011, the effects on city size are null. Sichuan experiences a “back to trend” migratory flows, suggesting that rapid-onset naturals disasters have no permanent impact on migration patterns. The timing of this return-to-trend exactly coincides with the end of the three-year reconstruction plan led by Chinese government, suggesting the effiency of the latter

Full textAbstract:
In the last few decades, China has experienced unprecedented economic growth and urban transformation. A large body of literature has examined urban restructuring and migration at different geographical scales. Intra-urban migration, or residential mobility, however, has received less attention, which has major implications for individuals' well-being, neighbourhood governance and urban transformation. This research tries to extend the literature on residential decisions and relocation in Chinese cities, focusing on the causes, patterns and effects of residential move, using data from a large-scale survey conducted at the end of 2012 in the City of Guangzhou. First, it analyses the time trend of residential mobility and factors underlying residential move in an event-history analysis framework, by explicitly incorporating cohort or generation differences. It is found that not only substantially higher mobility propensities for young adults than middle-aged individuals and senior citizens, but significant differential effects of major determinants such as hukou, educational attainment, birth of a child in the family and child rearing, on housing consumption and residential relocation across age cohorts. Second, it addresses the residential shifts within and between three distance zones - inner core, inner suburbs and outer suburbs - and reveals complex spatial mobility trends. Third, it explores how feelings like neighbourhood attachment are conditioned upon residential mobility and neighbourhood change. This thesis contributes to the study of residential relocation by incorporating cohort differences to address the complexities of residential mobility and providing a mapping of the spatial patterns for intra-urban migration with a case study. In addition, it highlights the importance of looking beyond traditional explanations of such as neighbourhood attachment, to include individual urbanites' past mobility experiences.

This dissertation is a collection of three essays on urbanization and migration. The first essay is a treatment on the urbanization theory. I discuss the ambiguity in the urban concept, and propose a comprehensive urban concept which includes the demographic, physical, economic, social, and cultural dimensions of urban characteristics. Based on the concept, and through analyses of the countries' preference over specific urban definition methods, I propose the Kuznets Curve for urban definition complexity, and the Hypothesis of the Unbalanced Urbanization Process. I test the hypothesis with a case study of five countries: the United States, Mexico, China, India, and Ethiopia. With the findings I call for a paradigm shift in the study of the urbanization process, which constitutes the general framing of the dissertation. The next two essays concern the application of the framework in a specific country - China, and relevant studies on the country's internal migration. The studies are based on two nation-wide, large-sample surveys on the migrants and rural households' living conditions in 2008-2009 (n=2398) and 2014-2015 (n=2097). In the second essay, I study the life-cycle migration behavior pattern of China's internal rural-urban migrants. I first conduct a statistical treatment of the general demographics as well as individual-level migration-related behavioral patterns of the migrants, and then reconstruct the life history of the migrants through survival analyses on their migrating and return migrating behaviors, and also two Cox proportional hazard models respective to the two survival processes which examine the determinants of such behaviors. Results give rise to an overlapping generational and iterative pattern of the migrants' migration behavior with a filtration mechanism, which I call "the Circle of Life" model. Lastly, in the third essay, I examine the role of China's institutional environment in shaping the unique migration behavior pattern. I conduct a thorough documentation on the evolution, and especially the recent development of China's Hukou (household registration) and land ownership policies, and show the shift of a dual social structure as a result of the policy change. Furthermore, I develop two groups of discrete choice models to examine the formation of the migrants' urban settlement intentions. Overall, I conclude that China's institutions have played an empowering function, thus giving rise to an institution-bound rational choice behavior concerning migration and settlement. Lastly, I briefly discuss the implications of the findings on urbanization and development theories, as well as the policy suggestions.

Full textAbstract:
The first part of this dissertation systematically and comprehensively reviews the literature to understand what is and is not known about Chinese internal migration and mental health. By identifying the research gaps, the second part of this dissertation extends previous research by offering an integrative perspective that articulates how multimodal connectedness by diverse media forms influence one's personal networks, and thus their social capital, social support, and life satisfaction and positive mental health as two subjective well-being outcomes. The theory of media multiplexity (Haythornthwaite, 2005) was employed to explain the relations between Chinese internal migrant workers' diverse media use and their personal ties linked. Media multiplexity advocates that strong ties tend to use diverse media forms to sustain the deep levels of mutual dependency, while only one or two media were employed in the communication of weak ties. However, there is still a dearth of studies investigating Chinese migrant workers' diverse media use to establish and maintain their social ties. In this dissertation, the theory of media multiplexity was advanced with the consideration of the diverse media values in particular Chinese social context within the Chinese migrant worker population. The traditional perspective of media multiplexity theory emphasizes the positive relationship of the media use number and tie strength. In this dissertation I argue that both the number and value of different media forms should be considered to understand the nexus the migrant workers' multiplex media use to interact with different social ties. Moreover, this study also first time investigated the personal networks of Chinese migrant workers and how their personal networks function influences their mental health.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is comprised of three chapters on the interaction between migrants and their source regions applied to China and Vietnam. The first chapter examines whether remittances are related to receivers' trust and trustworthiness in Vietnam. Using a combination of a field experiment conducted in 2010 and the "2002 Vietnam Household Living Standards Survey", the chapter finds that while internal remittances have no significant relationship to trusting behavior, international remittances demonstrate a significantly positive connection. On the other hand, international remittances are negatively related to trustworthiness, while internal remittances are positively associated. Besides, this study finds that the level of trustworthiness is higher in the south than in the north. The second chapter explores the role of children by age and by gender as a motive for return migration in China by using a rural household survey conducted in Wuwei County (Anhui province) in 2008. Resorting to a discrete time proportional hazard model and a binary Probit model to estimate respectively the determinants of migration duration for both on-going migrants and return migrants, and the return intentions of on-going migrants, the chapter finds consistent results regarding the role of left-behind children as a significant motive for return. The last chapter examines the impact of the migration experience on individuals' choice of being self-employed upon their return to their home villages. By using the same data of Wuwei survey, the chapter finds that return migrants are more likely to be self-employed than non-migrants, and that both return savings and the frequency of job changes during migration increase the likelihood for return migrants to become self-employed.

Full textAbstract:
In China's urban metropoles, the hukou system of household registration regulates one of the largest movements of people in human history. While rural-urban migrations are reshaping societies worldwide, the migrants who make up a great portion of urban China's low-wage labor force and burgeoning population face unique legal and social challenges. Although the trajectories of their migration do not cross international boundaries, most are legally prevented from ever gaining the within China's hukou system of household registration. The functions of this system parallel those of national citizenship policies, and are difficult to explain through standard conceptions of sovereignty and national citizenship. Extending recent work in border studies that thinks of borders in dimensions that go beyond the line itself, this thesis argues that national borders and national citizenship should not be considered as the exclusive sites from which bordering processes emanate. Instead, I argue that citizenship and bordering processes can both take place apart from the norms of nation-state territory. Based on a series of qualitative interviews conducted in Shanghai and Anhui province, this article examines the structure and effects of the hukou system as it regulates legal inclusion and exclusion of migrant workers.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the results of research in a small village located in the mountains of Sichuan Province in southwestern China. The thesis argues that traditional irrigation practices vital to paddy-rice production in the village have been stressed by local weather events. It also argues that local villagers have not responded effectively to such changes, and that failure to adjust has contributed to social stress observed at the site.
During the earlier years of the study period (1945 to 2012), improvements were made in local irrigation, which seem to have helped farmers continue with traditional subsistence wet-rice farming in a fragile mountain environment. However, in later years of the period village social order showed two significant signs of collapse: first, because of emigration, fewer people were left to farm higher mountain levels so farm land was being abandoned; second, social crowding in lower level riverside farming areas, partly the result of highland emigration, began reducing the amount of land being farmed there. While reducing intensive cropping of highland farming areas can result in spontaneous recovery of natural resources such as soil and water, crowding in lower areas can contribute to deterioration of natural resources in the lower village farmland. Crowding can, in addition, have a bearing on community health problems.
The thesis results are of value to researchers concerned with the adaptive behavior of local farming communities trying to maintain their traditional irrigation-dependent way of life in a fragile mountain environment while experiencing the effects of changeable weather. Thesis results are of additional value to those who study the impact on society of earth-warming, especially if variable local weather in the Dabashan is shown to be related to global climate change.

Increased migration during the last decades in China is widely recognized as having played an important role in the country’s astonishing economic development. Without casting shadows over these achievements, one interesting question that arises is whether this development has been equally beneficial to all members of the society. The typical migrant job has been relatively low-skilled. Thus, migrants should compete with local low-skilled labor market participants to a higher degree than with more educated local labor market participants. This paper compares the effect of migration on wages of non-skilled and skilled individuals. It employs regression analysis using individual level data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey, and provincial level data from the China statistical yearbooks and China Censuses. To deal with potential endogeneity of migration, I employ an instrumental variable method. The instrument that is used is occurrence of disasters. After dealing with the endogeneity problem of migration, I find some evidence that non-skilled individuals benefitted less than other individuals from incoming migration. They were not however, absolutely adversely affected. That is, less-skilled individuals benefitted from migration, but less than other individuals within their province. These findings give some support to the hypothesis that incoming migration to a labor market should increase the relative income of complements while decrease the relative income of substitutes. In the case of China, it suggests that increased migration in the country has not been equally beneficial to all members of the society.

"The overlooked importance of familial ties as a channel of hukou mobility and unequal access to its use." 2013. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b5549327.
Full textAbstract:
在过去的半个世纪中，戶口（戶籍）制度是影响人们生活机会最重要的社会制度之一，对于能否获得良好的就业机会、医疗、住房，甚至子女教育都是至关重要的决定因素。因此，从农业戶口转为城镇戶口，是一种非常有效的社会上向流动的途径。然而，由于缺乏数据，以往的研究未能评估亲属关系在戶口转换中的作用。依据2008年中国综合社会调查，本文重点考察亲属关系在戶口转换中的作用，将“农转非过程中的亲属关系划分为配偶关系和亲子关系，并考察谁更可能使用这些关系。本研究采用离散时间竞争风险模型，主要探讨家庭出身、教育程度和性别是如何影响不同类型的亲属关系的使用。实证研究结果表明：（1）亲属关系在戶口转换中起到最为重要的角色;（2）父亲的教育和工作单位性质对于采用亲属关系实现戶口转换有很大推动作用，而这主要是通过先让父亲自己得到城镇戶口而实现的;（3）控制了家庭出身后，高中教育对于使用配偶关系有促进作用，主要采用这种关系的是女性，而高职和大学教育则不会影响亲属关系的使用，因为它们本身就是合法的戶口转换渠道;（4）农村妇女更可能通过嫁给一个城镇男性，来获得戶口转换的机会，而大部分的男性则主要通过参军、教育或职业渠道来获得戶口转换;（5）本文还将采用这一性别差异的框架来解决以往戶口转换研究中的一个难题。Over the last half century, household registration (hukou) system is perhaps the most important determinants of people’s life chances, access to good jobs, health care, housing and even education for one’s children. Therefore, transforming one’s hukou status from rural to urban is a very effective path to upward social mobility. However, for lack of appropriate data, previous studies have failed to evaluate the role of familial ties in hukou mobility. Drawing on the 2008 Chinese General Social Survey, this paper emphasizes the role of familial ties in hukou mobility, infers from multiple survey questions the important distinction between channels of hukou conversion based on spousal tie and parent-child tie, and examines who are more or less likely to use spousal and parent-child tie. Using the discrete-time competing-risk hazard rate model, this study specifically examines how family origin, educational attainment and gender affect the access to different types of familial-tie-based channels. Empirical findings show that: (1) familial ties play a prominent role in hukou conversion; (2) father’s education and employment at a state work unit facilitate the use of familial ties to achieve hukou conversion, but evidently all due to father’s own attainment of urban hukou in advance; (3) net of the effect of family origin, senior high school education promotes the use of spousal tie, mainly by women, whereas neither vocational school nor college education has significant effects on the use of familial ties, because they are both de jure channels of hukou conversion; (4) rural women are more likely to use marriage to an urban man as a channel for hukou conversion, with signs of status exchange, whereas the majority of men use military, education or employment channels for hukou conversion; (5) the gender-specific framework is then applied to resolve a puzzle of hukou conversion reported in prior literature.
