Collaborative Research: Recent Migration in China and the Impact of the Hukou System

范，C.辛迪陈，加州金荣大学，华盛顿洛杉矶大学，本研究项目的中心目标是研究转型期中国经济内部移民的过程和结果。具体来说，这项工作的重点是国家所采用的社会政治控制机制——特别是户籍制度——所造成的社会经济分割的作用。本文基于1990年人口普查和1995年人口调查的大数据样本，以及将在广东和湖北进行的小规模深入的实地访谈，对户口和非户口流动以及流动人口的社会经济特征进行了比较。将利用统计和定量分析得出关系和结果。该研究有望通过探索国家机构与经济结构转型之间的动态互动来开辟新的领域。这个问题也将在现有的历史文化，新古典主义和细分劳动力市场理论方面进行评估。该项目将理论化当代中国国家、工业化和内部移民之间的关系。这项研究将由两名美国科学家和两名中国研究人员进行。该研究对当前结构调整的共同情况下界定移民的过程具有重要的理论和政策意义

Fan, C. Cindy Chan, Kam Wing University of California, Los Angeles University of Washington The central objectives of this research project are to examine the processes and outcomes of internal migration in the transitional Chinese economy. Specifically the work focuses upon the role of socio-economic segmentation resulting from the socio-political control mechanisms employed by the state-notably the household registration (hukou) system. A comparison of hukou and non-hukou migrations and migrants' socio-economic characteristics is undertaken based on a large data sample drawn from the 1990 Census and 1995 Population Survey, as well as, small scale in-depth field interviews to be conducted in Guangdong and Hubei provinces. Statistical and quantitative analyses will be utilized to draw out relationships and findings. The research promises to break new ground by exploring the dynamic interaction between state institutions and the structural transformation of the economy. The problem will also be evaluated in terms of existing historical-cultural, neo-classical, and segmented labor market theories. The project will theorize the relationship between the state, industrialization and internal migration in contemporary China. The research will be carried out by two U.S. scientists as well as two Chinese researchers. The research has important theoretical and policy implications in regards to the processes defining migration in currently common situations of structural adjustment
