讲座简介:
Since the start of economic reform more than 30 years ago, China has experienced an unprecedented wave of rural-urban migration. As China’s rural peasants have moved to large cities, many have settled in migrant enclaves: geographically bounded urban areas characterized by high concentrations of rural migrants. Although China’s rural-urban migration has been extensively studied, relatively little research has focused on migrant enclaves. Moreover, much of the existing research has primarily focused on larger social, economic and institutional factors, and has largely ignored the issue of social mobility. Drawing on an ongoing in-depth qualitative study of the self-employed migrant workers in Feijiacun, a small migrant enclave on the outskirts of Beijing, this talk will discuss migrants’ perceptions of social mobility and the relationship between those perceptions and the strength of a migrants’ social resources within the enclave. In doing so, this talk will explore the scholarly contention that migrant enclaves characterized by strong social networks provide a feasible path for upward social mobility for China’s migrant workers.

农村留守家庭对外出农民工的回流期望研究

讲座简介:
我国农民工的流动问题一直都是国内外学者的研究重点,他们不仅是我国在社会转型时期最有力的变革力量,他们也是加快我国城镇化进程的主力军。然而,在重视研究农民工自身的流动问题上,却忽略了农村留守人口的流动期望问题,农村留守人口是我国社会相对弱势的群体,他们对于外出农民工流动的想法会直接体现留守家庭的需求,关系到留守农村的发展。本研究以农村留守家庭为单位,以留守人口的视角来研究外出农民工的流动意愿,即研究留守家庭对外出农民工的回流期望,并且通过分析各种因素对回流期望的影响程度,用以解释影响回流期望的关键原因。
