Interprovincial migration in China, 1985-1990
Research in Rural Sociology and Development
|September 26, 2002
Summary
This study analyzes Chinese interprovincial migration patterns from 1985-1990 using census data. Findings reveal migration determinants and policy effectiveness, offering insights into population mobility.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Human Ecology
- Sociology
Background:
- China experienced significant internal migration between 1985 and 1990.
- Understanding migration patterns is crucial for policy development and resource allocation.
- Previous research has explored migration determinants, but a comprehensive analysis for this period is needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the patterns and determinants of interprovincial migration in China during 1985-1990.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of Chinese migration policies in achieving their objectives.
- To develop and apply a human ecological model grounded in a gravity model to understand migration flows.
Main Methods:
- Utilized migration flow data from the 1990 Chinese census.
- Developed a human ecological model integrated with a gravity model framework.
- Analyzed migration streams to and from each Chinese province.
Main Results:
- Identified key patterns in interprovincial migration streams.
- Determined factors influencing migration decisions and flows.
- Assessed the extent to which migration policies met their intended goals.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a detailed analysis of China's interprovincial migration during a critical period.
- Findings offer insights into the drivers of migration and the impact of policies.
- The human ecological and gravity model approach enhances understanding of population mobility in China.

00:53Migration
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
01:19Cell Migration
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.
