报告摘要
Internal migration from rural to urban areas can have large welfare effects on the migrants and their extended family. In China, temporary migrants leave family members behind and support them with remittances from the urban area, while the grandparents look after children in the rural area. I study how internal migration opportunities for rural workers affect their extended family’s behavior and welfare. In this paper, using micro-level data from China, I develop and estimate a model featuring three generations and migration choices. The model features an informal limited-commitment contract over child care, financial transfers, and commitments to elder care. I find that both the parents and grandparents gain from the informal contract, and that the informal contract reduces welfare inequality in rural China. I then use the model to evaluate the effects of a set of hypothetical policies, including urban education subsidies and improved health insurance coverage. The policy counterfactual outcomes imply that government policies on households with internal migrants have externalities via the informal contract.
