Abstract:

This study attempts to provide an insight of migrant identity using the data of 2012 Migrant Dynamics Monitoring Survey in China．The Latent Class Analysis is adopted to explore the patterns of mi- grant identity．Demographical differences among different identity patterns are also examined．The results identify three patterns of migrants’identity: rejected identity，congruent identity and ambivalent identity．No significant identity difference is found between urban-urban and rural-urban migrants．Part of the migrants has ambivalent feelings about their identity．The new generation of migrants，especially the new generation of rural-urban migrants tends to reject their citizenship of the inflow cities．The distance of migration and the type of settled city are significant factors affecting pattern of migrants’identity．The prolonged duration of residence tends to improve migrant’ s degree of self-identity．Interacting and communicating with local resi- dents are important in facilitating migrant’ s self-identity．Finally，living with family enhances migrant’ s self-identity．
