尽管中国境内有大量人口流动，但长期存在的城乡分歧导致许多流动人口将子女留在农村地区。本研究利用中国健康与营养调查（N = 885）的纵向数据探讨了外出务工对儿童教育的影响。本研究考虑了复杂的家庭迁移策略，并区分了中国的各种类型的迁移，包括不同形式的父母迁移以及兄弟姐妹迁移。结果显示，兄弟姐妹外出务工对儿童的教育有好处，这对于女童和中学儿童尤其明显。但父母外出务工并没有像父母所希望的那样，给留守儿童在教育前景上带来显着优势。年幼的孩子似乎特别容易受到父母外出务工的破坏性影响。
Despite China’s substantial internal migration, longstanding rural-urban bifurcation has prompted many migrants to leave their children behind in rural areas. This study examines the consequences of out-migration for children’s education using longitudinal data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (N = 885). This study takes into account the complex family migration strategies and distinguishes various types of migration in China, including different forms of parental migration as well as sibling migration. Results show that migration of siblings generates benefits for children’s education, which is particularly pronounced for girls and children at middle-school levels. But parental migration has not given children left behind a significant advantage in educational prospects as their parents had hoped. Younger children seem to be especially susceptible to the disruptive effect of parental out-migration.
