数以百万计的中国农民工从农村迁移到城市，寻找工作机会和更好的生活。在从“以土地为基础的城市化”到“以人为本的城市化”的政策转变下，理解是什么决定了移民的定居意图是很重要的。虽然以前的研究主要集中在社会人口对定居意向的影响，城市层面的背景下的作用是研究不足。本文利用2015年长江三角洲流动人口动态监测调查的数据，通过考察人口规模、就业结构、工资水平和房价等东道国背景特征对流动人口定居意愿的影响，来解决这一差距。研究发现，房价与流动人口的定居决定负相关，工资水平对受过高等教育的流动人口有正向影响。居民超过1 000万或行政地位较高的城市对希望在城市环境中定居的移徙者特别有吸引力。
Millions of Chinese migrants have moved from the countryside to cities to seek job opportunities and a better life. Under the policy shift from "land-based urbanisation" to "people-oriented urbanisation," it is important to understand what determines migrants' settlement intentions. Although previous studies have primarily focused on sociodemographic impacts on settlement intention, the role of city-level contexts is understudied. Drawing upon data, the 2015 Migrant Dynamic Monitoring Survey in the Yangtze River Delta, this paper addresses this gap by examining the impact of contextual features in host cities, including population size, employment structure, wage levels, and house prices on migrants' settlement intentions. We find that house prices are negatively associated with migrants' decision to settle, and wage levels have a positive effect on migrants with tertiary education. Cities with over 10 million residents or high administrative status are particularly attractive to migrants wishing to settle in urban environments.
