在过去的30年里,中国出现了大量的农村移民。虽然大量的文献揭示了移民生活质量低下的问题,但很少有研究来了解移民如何评价他们在东道城市的生活,也没有研究将移民的主观幸福感与他们的居住环境联系起来。本文利用广州市的问卷调查数据,运用多水平线性模型,对流入地城市流动人口主观幸福感的影响因素进行了研究。它特别关注移民的社会关系和居住环境影响他们主观幸福感的程度和方式。研究结果表明,总体而言,流动人口的主观幸福感水平低于本地居民,且流动人口主观幸福感的认知和情感成分受不同因素的影响。相对剥夺感、社会支持和邻里社会环境在决定移民福祉的认知部分(生活满意度)方面很重要,但对他们福祉的情感部分(积极和消极影响)没有影响。没有证据表明,邻里清洁和邻里设施影响移民的主观幸福感水平。(C)2016作者爱思唯尔有限公司出版
China has witnessed a surge of rural-urban migrants over the past three decades. Although a plethora of literature has shed light on the low quality of migrants' lives, little research has been done to understand how migrants evaluate their own lives in host cities, and no study has been undertaken to link migrants' subjective wellbeing with their residential environments. Using the data collected from a questionnaire survey in Guangzhou and multilevel linear models, this paper examines the determinants of migrants' subjective wellbeing in host cities. It particularly focuses on the extent to which and the ways in which migrants' social ties and residential environment influence their subjective wellbeing. The results indicate that, in general, migrants have a lower level of subjective wellbeing than local residents, and the cognitive and emotional components of migrants' subjective wellbeing are influenced by different factors. The sense of relative deprivation, social support, and neighbourhood social environment matter in determining the cognitive component of migrants' wellbeing (life satisfaction) but have no impact on the emotional component of their wellbeing (positive and negative affect). No evidence shows that neighbourhood cleanliness and neighbourhood amenities influence the level of migrants' subjective wellbeing. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
