Abstract: Since the reform and opening up, the scale of China's floating population has been increasing, and the proportion of inter-provincial migrants has been also increasing. Although there are many studies on Inter-provincial Migration of floating population, few focus on inter-provincial migration distance. Based on the 2000 and 2010 census data, this paper examines the migration distance per capita and differentials by province. The results show that the migration distance per capita in China kept increasing from 980.51 km in 2000 to 994.82 km in 2010. The provinces with higher migration distances are mainly located in the west, while the provinces with lower migration distances are mainly located in the east. There are gender differences in migration distances per capita, and females are more inclined to close migration. In 2010, the average migration distance of males was 1000.75 km, while that of females was 987.01 km. The gender differences in migration distances are shrinking. At the same time, the paper also discusses the influencing factors of Inter-provincial Migration of migrants from three aspects: economic factors, age structure and migration scale.
