AB: Abstract
Recent research literature on migration in China has mainly focused on
adult migrants. As more and more people participate in the migration
process and as migrants expand the duration of their stays in cities,
migrant children increasingly become part of the migration stream. The
presence of large numbers of migrant children in cities, especially
children without local hukou, creates major problems for their parents
and challenges for education policy-makers. In this paper, we examine
the school enrollment of migrant children who resided in cities of
Guangdong province in 1995. Using data from the 1995 China 1%
Population Sample Survey, we apply a research strategy that
incorporates both migration origin as well as destination. This allows
us to estimate school enrollment rates for temporary migrant children,
permanent migrant children, and local children, in addition to
non-migrant children at the place of origin. Two major findings emerge
from multivariate analyses of school enrollment. First, temporary
migrant children are much less likely to be enrolled in school
compared to local children. Temporary migrants with less than one year
of residence in cities suffer the most. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly,
permanent migrant children are more likely to be enrolled in school
than local children due largely to the highly selective nature of
their parents. Second, compared to non-migrant children at the place
of origin, rural temporary migrant children from Guangdong also
encounter a major disadvantage in terms of school enrollment. As
education becomes more and more important for socio-economic mobility
in the Chinese society, such disadvantages faced by temporary migrant
children are likely to have detrimental and long-term consequences for
migrant children and for urban society as a whole.; All rights
