Abstract

Familization of migration is a significant feature and development trend of floating population in current China. Achieving the stable and high-quality family migration of the floating population is an integral part of the development of people-oriented and sharing-type urbanization. In this paper, the dynamic monitoring data of floating population in Hubei province from 2013 to 2015 was used to analyze the family migration decisions of floating population, and MLogit model was used to investigate the influencing factors of different migration patterns. The results show that the family size of floating population in Hubei province tends to be smaller and more stable; the factors such as family size, number of children and urban characteristic have significant influence on the migration pattern of floating population. On the basis of this, the paper suggests that the government should strengthen the active guidance to the group that has advantages in family migration, alleviate the pressure of left-behind members’ family-care of the semi-family migration families, and promote the stable employment and social integration of the accompanying migrants.
