Abstract: Family migration is one of the major population trends inChina. By redefining the concept and types of family migration, this paper analyzes the patterns and current status of family migration in China using data from the 2010 floating population monitoring survey. 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.

摘要: 家庭化迁居已成为我国未来人口流动的主要趋势。文章利用2010年流动人口监测数据,分析当前我国流动人口家庭化迁居的现状,对家庭化迁居的概念、类型进行重新界定。按照家庭迁居程的差异,将流动家庭划分为已完成迁居和未完成迁居的家庭。数据分析表明,家庭的经济水平、家庭户规模和结构等因素,使家庭在迁居方式与进程方面表现出不同的特征。在家庭分批迁居的过程中,不同批次迁居的成员呈现出家庭内成员身份、人力资本存量、迁居时间间隔等方面的选择性特征。文章认为对人口流动家庭化迁居现象应采取"支持"型的政策导向,并为建立流动家庭管理服务体系提出政策意见,即进一步推进户籍制度改革,建立覆盖家庭生命周期、家庭类型的流动家庭服务体系。
