英文文献摘要:
Migration is widely known as one of the main ways of alleviating poverty in developing countries, including China. However, migration itself is not costless. In recent years, there is an emerging concern about the effect of migration on the educational achievement of the children of migrants in China since most of the young children of school age of the migrants are being left in the village when one or both of their parents move to the city to work. This paper examines the effect of the migration activities of the father and/or mother on the educational performance of elementary school students (First to Fifth grade). With a dataset that collected from a survey designed specifically to examine changes in school performance of children before and after their parents left the village to migrate to the city we use Difference-in-Difference and, propensity score matching approaches. Although the grades of the children from some migrants family are sometimes lower than those from non-migrants family (in the time period before and after migration), somewhat surprisingly, we find that there is no significant negative effect of migration itself on the children's school performance. In fact, in some cases (e.g., after the father migrates), performance improves. Our paper also demonstrates and explains the interaction effects of migration from wealth and household composition.
然而,迁移本身并不是没有成本的。近年来,有一个新兴担忧移民对教育成就的影响的中国移民的孩子,因为大多数的学龄儿童移民被留在村里当一方或双方的父母到城市工作。摘要本文探讨了父母的迁移活动对小学(一至五年级)学生教育表现的影响。有了收集自一项调查的数据集,该调查专门研究了孩子在父母离开村庄移居到城市之前和之后在学校表现上的变化,我们使用差异中差异和倾向性分数匹配方法。虽然移民家庭子女的成绩有时会低于非移民家庭子女(迁移前后的时间),但令人有些惊讶的是,我们发现移民本身对子女的学习成绩并没有显著的负面影响。事实上,在某些情况下(例如,在父亲迁移之后),性能会提高。本文还论证和解释了财富迁移和家庭结构迁移的交互效应。
