Area of Science:

  • Demography
  • Sociology
  • Economics

Background:

  • Understanding historical migration patterns is crucial for policy.
  • China experienced significant political and economic changes between 1950 and 1988.
  • Data on historical migration in many countries is often unavailable or unreliable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze long-term migration patterns within China from 1950 to 1988.
  • To identify the key drivers of interprovincial migration during this period.
  • To propose a methodology applicable to countries with limited historical migration data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from China's 1988 2/1,000 Fertility and Birth Control Survey.
  • Analyzed respondent data on their most recent interprovincial move.
  • Examined correlations between migration patterns and major political/economic events.

Main Results:

  • Long-term migration trends are significantly influenced by political and economic factors.
  • Specific policy changes and economic developments correlate with migration flows.
  • The study identified distinct phases of migration influenced by national policies.

Conclusions:

  • Political and economic changes are primary determinants of long-term migration in China.
  • The analytical approach offers a valuable framework for studying migration in data-scarce environments.
  • Findings provide insights for contemporary migration policy and historical demographic research.
