Abstract: Selectivity of human migration has long been the focus of demographers and economists.This paper goes into detail on the migration selectivity of Chinese migration in the transitional era of late 1990s,using the 2000 Chinese population census micro data.It reveals that the young adults and the more educated dominate the migrations stream with a more balanced sex ratio for the 15~29 age group,whereas more females in their early twenties are on the move than males.Meanwhile,the household registration system is the major determinants for migration decision and type of migration.

摘要： 人口迁移的选择性一直以来都是人口学家和经济学家关注的焦点。文章利用2000年中国人口普查微观数据,重点考察了1990年代后期在转型社会中中国人口迁移的选择性问题。研究表明,中国人口迁移具有较强的年龄选择性和教育选择性,但青年迁移者中,女性所占比例有所上升且呈现出高于男性迁移风险的态势。同时,户籍制度是影响迁移决策和决定迁移类型的重要因素。
