Circular migration, or permanent stay? evidence from China's rural–urban migration / Hu, Feng; Xu, Zhaoyuan; Chen, Yuyu   Journal Article
Hu, Feng Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract Although there is a rich literature on internal temporary migration in China, few existing studies deal with the permanent migration decision of China's rural labor. This paper will fill this gap and deal with the permanent migration choice made by rural migrants with the China General Social Survey (CGSS) data. Our results show that compared with their circular counterparts, permanent migrants tend to stay within the home provinces and are more likely to have stable jobs and earn high incomes and thus are more adapted to urban lives. We also find that more educated and more experienced migrants tend to be permanent urban residents, while the relationship of age and the probability of permanent migration is inverse U-shaped. Due to the restrictions of the current hukou system and the lack of rural land rental market, those people with more children and more land at home are more likely to migrate circularly rather than permanently.

Notes regarding the 2006 survey of active duty spouses / Losinger, Willard C   Journal Article
Losinger, Willard C Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract The Defense Manpower Data Center of the U.S. Department of Defense launched the 2006 Survey of Active Duty Spouses to assess attitudes of the spouses of U.S. active-duty military members. Severe problems existed with the sampling, weight adjustments, and estimation (including variance-estimation) procedures. Stratification of the sample without proper consideration of the survey objectives made it impossible to achieve reportable information for many desired population subgroups. Excessive stratification caused many of the sampling strata to have very small numbers of respondents, both expected and actual. Consequently, nonresponse bias was probably enormous across many of the strata. Absurd weight adjustments likely contributed toward rendering many survey estimates unreliable. To make the survey estimates seem more precise, sampling strata were collapsed together to form new "variance strata" for variance estimation. Caution is advised in using results from this and other Defense Manpower Data Center surveys.
