Abstract

The ongoing property reforms of land tenure in China include the Rural Land Registration and Certification (RLRC) program and the “three rights” separation arrangements. These land tenure reforms could affect rural household migration decisions. In this paper, we report on an investigation of the effects of land tenure arrangements in rural China on households’ rural-urban migration using Logit and Poisson models, in conjunction with the Propensity Score Matching method. The results indicate that land tenure reforms have encouraged households to migrate from rural to urban areas. These findings have policy implications for rural development in China.
