Abstract

The return of migrant workers is an important trend in labor mobility in China. The location of the return determines the direction of the flow and affects the choice of settlement. Based on first-hand data from a field survey, statistical analysis and binary logistic analysis methods are used to analyze the location characteristics and influencing factors of the return flow. The study found that (1) returning to the county is the basic spatial feature of the return of migrant workers. Most workers return to villages and counties outside the township. Before returning, most worked in other cities and counties. Counties and small towns near the village have become the main sites for migrant workers’ return to employment. Although the general trend of rural-urban migration has not changed, the intensity has declined to a certain extent. (2) The main reason for return is to take care of the family, followed by old age, difficulty finding a job, low wages and high costs, poor health, etc. In addition, hometown employment conditions have an impact. The push from other places and the local pull work together on migrant workers, eventually producing a return pattern. (3) Most return flow has occurred in the last 5 years, and it has been intensifying. Return flow and outflow are the two basic forms of labor mobility. Under normal circumstances, migrant workers choose to return when they cannot obtain a higher income or cannot find a job. It is foreseeable that as the county-level economy continues to develop, the trend of return will continue to strengthen. (4) Factors such as years of education, skills, working years, number of work sites, family generation, distance from the city, and relative position in the village reached significance in the regression model for the choice to return to the county. Only the family generation coefficient was negative, and the other coefficients were positive. Employment and income and taking care of the family are the main mechanisms influencing migrant workers' return location selection.

农民工返乡区位研究——以河南省14个样本村为例
农民工回流是中国劳动力流动的一个重要趋势。回流的位置决定了水流的方向,影响沉降的选择。在实地调查的一手资料基础上,运用统计分析和二元logistic分析方法,分析了回流的区位特征及其影响因素。研究发现:(1)归县是农民工返乡的基本空间特征。大多数工人回到乡外的村庄和县。回国前,大多数人在其他市县工作。村庄附近的县城和小城镇成为农民工返乡的主要场所。虽然农村人口向城市迁移的总体趋势没有改变,但强度有所下降。(2)回国的主要原因是照顾家庭,其次是年龄大、找工作难、工资低成本高、身体不好等。此外,对家乡的就业状况也有影响。外地的推动和本地的拉动共同作用于农民工,最终形成了一种回流模式。(3)回流主要发生在近5年,且愈演愈烈。回流和流出是劳动力流动的两种基本形式。一般情况下,农民工在无法获得较高收入或找不到工作的情况下,会选择返乡。可以预见,随着县域经济的不断发展,回流的趋势将继续加强。(4)受教育年限、技能、工作年限、工作地点数量、家庭代际、离城市的距离、在农村的相对位置等因素在回归模型中对返乡的选择达到显著性。只有家庭代际系数为负,其他系数均为正。就业、收入和家庭照顾是影响农民工返乡地点选择的主要机制。
