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.
