Family migration canbe broadly divided into
complete and incomplete family migration． Migration behaviors and processes are influenced by a variety of factors including economic level   and household size and structure． In familysplit migration，migration tends to be selective in family members identity，human capital and time interval of migration． The paper suggests that the government adopt supportive policy to improve the service management system for the migrant families． Specific policy measures may include promoting reform of the household registration system，and establishing the administration and service system covering the whole family life cycle and a complete range of types of migrant families．
