中文：从性别视角看迁移和家庭生计对中国农村家庭户的经济后果
内容简介：The objectives of this study are to examine whether migration and its gender composition affect household economic strategies and household agricultural productivity, which is the fundamental economic activity for rural households. Using data from the 2010 and 2012 Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) as well China Health Nutrition Survey (CHNS) 1997-2011, this study treats households as the unit of analysis. Our results show that migrant households are less likely to engage in agricultural activities and run small businesses compared to households without any migrants. However, having female migrants discourages households from pursuing agriculture activities to a greater extent than having male migrants, while having male migrants acts as an obstacle to households running a small family business. This indicates women may have to shoulder the burden of agriculture work when men migrate, and having male migrants hampers households’ development of local non-agricultural activities. Finally, although having male migrants did not impact the household’s continuance of agricultural activities in a significant manner, it did reduce agricultural productivity.
