Abstract

This article explores correlates of the socioeconomic integration of young rural-urban migrants in a host society in China. Using a new typology that distinguishes hukou (household registration system), migration status, and age, multilevel modeling results indicate that young rural-urban migrants achieve a lower socioeconomic status than local youths and urban-urban migratory youths. This challenges the notion that marketization necessarily promotes rights and legal equality in a linear fashion and suggests that the potentially positive impact of migration on personal development might be compromised by institutional constraints (e.g., hukou ) that exclude migrants from rural areas, as well as other outsiders, particularly youths.
