Abstract

At present, many developing countries around the world are experiencing urbanization, and China has the largest scale of urbanization. The current literature mainly focuses on the relationship between economic factors, environmental factors and urbanization, ignoring the human factors. In fact, whether sufficient social security can be provided to solve people’s worries, as well as people’s social attitudes, has an important impact on their migration from rural areas to urban areas. By using the China General Social Survey (CGSS) 2018 data and constructing a binary logistic model, this paper studies the impact of social security on migration from rural areas to urban areas, as well as the mediating effects of people’s social attitudes. The results reveal that: (1) Social security has a significant positive effect on migration from rural areas to urban areas. (2) The improvement of the sense of fairness, happiness and security is conducive to the integration willingness and identity of the rural population and promotes urbanization. Therefore, social attitude plays an important mediating role. According to our study, policymakers need to consider how to build a suitable social security system and make rural residents feel safe and happy, so as to promote the sustainable development of urbanization.
