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

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. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Xiang, Jun. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2013. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 41-47). / Abstracts also in Chinese.
