Abstract: Using data from a survey of rural-urban migrants in China conducted by Renmin University of China in 2009,this paper conducts an empirical study on the finical support from out-migrants to their old parents in rural China.Social economic status of migrants as well as characteristics of migration process are introduced into analysis.Results show that migration patterns and socio-economic characteristics of migrants have significant impacts on their behaviors of aging support.Out-migration has conflicting effects on improving the economic status of out-migrants and taking their traditional obligation of family support.Importantly the traditional intergenerational support patterns of reciprocity and exchange are maintained in families of migrants′ parents.The corporate group model is still the regulation for division of aging support among adult children whose migration behaviors become important characteristics in adjusting the division of family support.
