摘要本文利用中国农村-城市移民（RUMiC）调查的数据，评估了2008-2014年中国农村-城市移民生活条件的最新动态，特别是内陆地区和沿海地区之间的差异。沿着他们经济条件的改善，移民的住房条件总体上也得到了改善，尽管与城市本地人相比，他们的不利条件随着时间的推移而持续存在。在居住在内陆地区的移民中，这种改善尤其迅速。多元回归结果表明，教育、收入、原籍地和家庭组成是移民住房条件的重要决定因素。最后，分解分析表明，即使在控制了这些可观察到的因素，仍然有一个大的内陆沿海差异。随着时间的推移，中国的农村-城市移民越来越稳定，并在东道城市定居。之前的许多研究都声称，中国移民的临时性可能正在发生变化。需要更新和针对区域的移民政策。
Abstract Using data from the Rural–Urban Migration in China (RUMiC) survey, this paper evaluates the very recent dynamics of living condition among China’s rural–urban migrants during 2008–2014, scrutinizing in particular the differential between the inland region and the coastal region. Along with their improved economic conditions, housing conditions of migrants have in general improved, although compared to urban locals their disadvantages persist over time. The improvement is especially fast among those migrants residing in the inland region. Multivariate regression results indicate that education, income, place of origin and family composition are important determinants of migrants’ housing conditions. Finally, decomposition analysis suggests that even after controlling for those observable factors, there is still a large inland–coastal differential. Over time, China’s rural–urban migrants are becoming more stable and settled in host cities. The temporary nature of China’s migrants, claimed in many previous studies, might be changing. Updated and regional-specific migrant policies are needed.
