本文通过对江苏省境内农民工的问卷调查，揭示了农民工社会保险的特点，并解释了为什么有的农民工参加了社会保险，而有的农民工没有参加社会保险。在可能解释哪些移民获得社会保险的因素中，性别，过去的收入，与移民所搬到的城市的联系，移民工作的企业的所有制类型和居住登记状态都被认为是统计上显着的预测因素。文章最后指出，据报移徙者对社会保障持高度怀疑态度是有道理的。大多数迁移到中国城镇的农民工几乎不可能享受到传统上只有城市户籍的人才能享受的社会保险福利。
This article draws on a survey of internal migrant workers in China's Jiangsu province to shed light on the characteristics of migrant workers who receive social insurance and explain why some migrants take up social insurance while others do not. Of the factors which potentially explain which migrants receive social insurance, gender, past earnings, ties to the city to which the migrant had moved, the ownership type of the enterprise in which the migrant works and residential registration status are all found to be statistically significant predictors. The article concludes with the suggestion that the high level of scepticism with respect to social protection that has been reported as being manifest among migrants is justified. There is little likelihood the majority of migrant workers who have moved to China's towns and cities will be able to access the social insurance benefits traditionally available to those with urban registration.
