RUI: China International Migration Project

这项研究将调查最近中国移民到美国的情况，这些移民往往是秘密移民。它结合了对纽约新移民的采访，以及对福建省六个社区寄送地区的中国家庭的系统抽样。除了有关家庭社会经济状况的基本数据外，访谈还将收集与移民代理网络有关的信息。对于像福建这样的长途移民来说，这些网络应该是至关重要的，特别是在移民流量增加的情况下。将使用关于汇款和社区清单的家庭数据来评估移民对福建派遣社区商业发展的影响。

This research will investigate recent, often clandestine, Chinese immigration into the United States. It combines interviews with recent immigrants in New York with a systematic sample of Chinese households from six community sending areas in Fujian province. Besides basic data on socioeconomic status of the households, the interviews will collect information on exposure to networks of migration agents. For long distance immigration such as from Fujian, these networks should be crucial, especially as the migration flows increase. Household data on remittances and community inventories will be used to evaluate the impact of the migration on business development in the sending communities in Fujian.
