abstract: 'Since the initiation of the economic reforms in 1978, generations of
|
|
|
|
Chinese migrants have moved from the countryside to cities to seek job
|
|
|
|
opportunities. As a result of financial constraints and institutional
|
|
|
|
obstacles, many migrants leave their children at the place of origin, to
|
|
|
|
be taken care of by partners, grandparents or other caregivers. Whilst
|
|
|
|
previous studies primarily focus on the impacts of parental migration on
|
|
|
|
children''s education and health, very few studies have examined its
|
|
|
|
longer-term impacts on labour market income when children reach
|
|
|
|
adulthood. Yet parental migration is likely to influence children''s
|
|
|
|
human capital accumulation and skill development. Drawing on data from
|
|
|
|
the 2011 Chinese Migrant Dynamics Monitoring Survey, this article fills
|
|
|
|
the gap by exploring the relationship between different types of
|
|
|
|
parental migration and their children''s wages when the children have
|
|
|
|
grown up and migrated to work in cities. Structural models are employed
|
|
|
|
to estimate both education and wage equations simultaneously to capture
|
|
|
|
the direct effect of parental migration on wages, together with the
|
|
|
|
mediating effect of education. The results show significantly negative
|
|
|
|
relationships between parental migration and young migrants'' educational
|
|
|
|
attainment and wages. Those who experienced the out-migration of both
|
|
|
|
parents are most disadvantaged in the urban labour market. The study is
|
|
|
|
important for policies aimed at improving migrants'' life prospects and
|
|
|
|
enhancing social mobility and equality.'
