Abstract:Based on the dynamic monitored data of the floating population in 2016, this paper studies the factors influencing the choice of the new generation of white-collar migrants to stay in cities, and also explores the decision-making mechanism for their choice to stay in first-tier cities or not. The study shows that currently the new generation of white-collar migrants generally have a strong desire to stay in cities, and 80% of them plan to live in the city they have moved to for a long time. As far as first-tier cities are concerned, housing (especially whether they have purchased a home or not) and household registration plays an important role in the decision of the new generation of white-collar migrants. In the non-first-tier cities, many social network factors and institutional factors play a decisive role. This, to some extent, can explain why white-collar workers choose to move to or retreat from the first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. To make the new generation of white-collar migrants more willing to stay and settle in the city, we need to further improve and perfect family policies, bring down migration cost, and encourage family migration. The government should optimize public services in housing, education, employment, attach more importance to the reform of the household registration system, and offer more favorable policies to white-collar workers when they choose to settle in cities.
