China’s massive internal migration volume in the last three decades has had major consequences for education, health, and behavior outcomes for children from migrant families. In this presentation we focus on migrant parents’ decision to either bring children to the city or leave them behind. We develop a framework to understand this decision, which takes into account child characteristics, characteristics of migrant parents, and characteristics of migrant- receiving communities. Our research design allows us to conduct comparison of rural origin children and urban origin children. Relying on a nationally representative data set, we show major issues of concern for rural origin children but not as much for urban origin children. For school age children, the gender inequality is being reproduced in this process, i.e. girls of school age are less likely to be brought to cities than boys. Increasing housing rental price in urban China presents another major obstacle for rural migrant parents. Moreover, rural origin parents’ decision to bring children to cities is influenced by level of difficulty in public school enrollment of their children. The results suggest that 15 years after China’s official policy of “no extra fees” for migrant children in urban public schools, migrant children continue to face challenges for access to local urban public schools. As China is implementing the “2014-2020 Urbanization Blueprint”, important steps and strategies should be taken to effectively integrate these children affected by the migration process.
