本文考察了埃塞俄比亚、印度(安得拉邦)、秘鲁和越南的正规教育、社会流动性和独立儿童迁移之间的联系，并利用了青年生活的数据，这是一项关于儿童贫困和学校教育的纵向研究。它认为，在资源贫乏的人口中，儿童移徙维持着世代和家庭之间的亲属关系，也促进了儿童在整个生命过程中的进步，因此它是社会再生产的基础。这是因为正规教育极大地放大了这一趋势。学校教育作为摆脱家庭贫困和实现社会流动雄心的主要手段，已经获得了象征性价值。因此，教育愿望的提高与制度缺陷相结合，刺激了择校、学校转学和与学校有关的儿童移徙。文章最后考察了这对儿童、社会再生产和政策的影响。
This article examines the association between formal education, social mobility and independent child migration in Ethiopia, India (Andhra Pradesh), Peru and Vietnam and draws on data from Young Lives, a longitudinal study of childhood poverty and schooling. It argues that among resource-poor populations, child migration sustains kin relations across generations and households and also facilitates children's progression through the life-course, thus it is fundamental to social reproduction. It reasons that formal education has greatly amplified this trend. Schooling has acquired symbolic value as the prime means of escaping household poverty and realising ambitions for social mobility. As such, elevated educational aspirations combine with systems shortcomings to stimulate school selection, school transfer and school-related child migration. The article concludes by examining the implications for children, for social reproduction and for policy.
