| Expansion of domestic demand led by consumption is of great significance to promoting high-quality economic development.The scale of migrant workers continues to expand and has become the main force for the expansion of consumption.However,the "semi-citizenized state" of migrant workers in the city "no fixed place to live,no medical care,and no care for the elderly",making migrant workers face the economic problems of "low consumption tendency,unbalanced consumption structure,and serious consumption differentiation".hinder the release of consumption potential.The citizenization process of migrant workers is an important factor affecting the consumption behavior of migrant workers,and the new generation of migrant workers is the main force in the process of citizenization.The family life cycle theory holds that the consumption needs and consumption structure of the new generation of migrant workers are significantly different from those of the older generation of migrant workers.The new generation of migrant workers grew up in an era of increasingly affluent life and the popularization of Internet information.They have a higher level of education and open consumption concepts.Strongly influenced by the demonstration effect of urban residents,the willingness to become a citizen is high,and it is the main force to boost the consumption of migrant workers.In addition,with the changes in the population structure of Chinese families,the downward transmission of family resources is more concentrated,and the intergenerational effects of parents within the family on the income,education,and social status of their offspring are more significant.The theory of new economic labor migration believes that the "altruism" and "implicit contract" behind the migration decision reveal that parents in the family can help their offspring to share the migration costs,and the offspring’s labor migration income forms the basis for the parents to provide support for offspring migration.motivation.The accumulation of social resources of the new generation of migrant workers is generally weak.Under the intergenerational differences in individual resources,the intergenerational inheritance from the father to the offspring will directly affect the offspring’s willingness to become citizens and the cost of urbanization,which in turn will affect the offspring’s urbanization.Quality of life and level of wealth.The intergenerational differences in individual resources will further widen the income differentiation,consumption differentiation and social status differentiation among migrant workers,further deepening the degree of social inequality.Therefore,the research questions are as follows: Under the background of the reality that the homogeneity of migrant workers has been broken,conduct an in-depth analysis of the characteristics of intergenerational consumption behavior of migrant workers at different stages,levels,and types of life cycles,and from the perspective of citizenization willingness and From the perspective of citizenization policy,this paper explores the impact and mechanism of citizenization on the consumption behavior of migrant workers between different generations,and provides enlightenment for maximizing the boosting effect of citizenization on the consumption of different generations of migrant workers and building a complete domestic demand system.This paper studies the intergenerational differences and driving factors of migrant workers’ consumption from the perspective of migrant workers’ citizenization.Unlike previous research on consumption behavior,most of them habitually use the model of "representative actors" to understand consumption.However,few scholars have paid attention to the intergenerational influence of parents on the consumption behavior of migrant workers within the family.The innovation of this paper is to explain the changes in the consumption behavior of migrant workers from the perspective of the structure of migrant workers and family intergenerational changes.The intergenerational differences in consumption between the "first generation of migrant workers" and "second generation of migrant workers" in the group expand the current research on the consumption behavior of migrant workers from the family intergenerational perspective of their parents’ migration experience.Then,construct the logical mechanism framework of "identity-consumption behavior",and discuss the influence and mechanism of citizenization on the difference of intergenerational consumption behavior of migrant workers from the subjective perspective of citizenization willingness and the objective perspective of citizenization policy,and expand the relevant research of citizenization.The content has certain innovations in terms of perspective;in addition,it breaks through the limitations of using statistical description methods in the existing literature to compare the differences in the consumption behaviors of "new generation" and "old generation" migrant workers,and introduces the flow experience of the parents to divide the "generation of migrant workers" Based on the concept of "second-generation migrant workers",using instrumental variables,Heckman two-step method,treatment effect model based on nearest neighbor matching,mediation effect model,and DDD(triple difference)and other mainstream and cutting-edge econometric methods to identify citizens The impact and mechanism of culturalization on the differences in the intergenerational consumption behavior of migrant workers ensure the scientificity and credibility of the research conclusions of this paper.To comprehensively examine the impact of citizenization on the consumption behavior of different generations of migrant workers,this paper conducts a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the intergenerational consumption behavior of migrant workers based on the idea of starting from the current situation,constructing a mathematical analysis model,conducting empirical tests,and drawing research conclusions.Full-text research ideas:First,based on the theory of family life cycle,construct a mathematical model of family production function and consumption function.The consumption behavior of migrant workers has the characteristics of a typical family life cycle.Through the mathematical model of family production function and consumption function,the theoretical research hypothesis of the influence of citizenization willingness and citizenization process on the consumption expenditure and consumption structure of different generations of migrant workers is derived,and from Absolute income,income uncertainty,and demonstration effect are three aspects of resident consumption theory,and analyze the mechanism path of citizenization on the difference in intergenerational consumption behavior of migrant workers.Second,based on theoretical assumptions,analyze the characteristics of migrant workers’ intergenerational consumption behavior.Using the 2018 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey data and China Migrant Population Dynamics Survey data,respectively from the "new generation" and "old generation";"first generation migrant workers" and "second generation migrant workers";different generations of migrant workers and urban residents’ consumption Behavioral differences;the spatial differences in consumption behavior of migrant workers and urban residents of different generations are analyzed in four aspects.First,use the data from the 2018 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey to analyze the differences in consumption expenditure and consumption structure between the "new generation" and the "old generation".Afterwards,use the same data to analyze the consumption expenditure and consumption structure of the "first-generation migrant workers" and "secondgeneration migrant workers".difference.Then,based on the 2018 China Floating Population Dynamics Survey data,the Linear Expenditure System Model(ELLSE)was used to analyze the differences in consumption expenditures of migrant workers and urban residents of different generations.Finally,the evolution of the spatial pattern of consumption behavior of migrant workers and urban residents of different generations is analyzed by using the geographic analysis tool of ARCGIS.Third,based on theoretical assumptions and characteristic facts,an econometric model was constructed to empirically test the "new generation" and "old generation" under group structure differences,and the "first generation migrant workers" and "second generation migrant workers" under family intergenerational differences The impact on the consumption behavior of migrant workers.Firstly,based on the two-way fixed effect model as the benchmark regression model,through various methods such as replacement estimation method,replacement data,replacement explanatory variables,instrumental variables,and sample matching,the "new generation" and "old generation","generation migrant workers" and Robustness test is carried out on the evolution trend of the consumption behavior of the second-generation migrant workers.And further analyze the heterogeneity from the three aspects of family dependency ratio,parents’ education years and parents’ migration experience years,and then test the different generations of migrant workers from the three resident consumption theories of absolute income,income uncertainty and demonstration effect.Mechanistic pathways of consumption behavior.Fourth,based on the evolution trend of different generations of migrant workers’ consumption behavior,further construct an econometric model,and analyze the impact and mechanism of citizenization on the differences in migrant workers’ intergenerational consumption behavior from the logical framework of the "identityconsumption behavior" theory.First of all,from the subjective perspective of citizenization willingness,a two-way fixed effect model is used to analyze the influence of citizenization willingness on the consumption behavior of migrant workers of different generations,through various methods such as replacing core explained variables,replacing estimation methods,instrumental variables,and two-stage Heckman A robustness test is carried out on the relationship between the willingness to become a citizen and the consumption behavior of different generations of migrant workers.And further analyze the heterogeneity from the perspective of regional differences in inflow areas.Then,still from the three resident consumption theories of absolute income,income uncertainty and demonstration effect,the mechanism path of citizenization willingness to different generations of migrant workers’ consumption behavior is tested.In addition,from the objective perspective of citizenization policy,the policy effect of different generations of migrant workers’ consumption behavior.Based on the triple difference(DDD)method,the impact of household registration policy on the consumption behavior of different generations of migrant workers is tested.Using the common trend test,excluding policy spillovers,replacing citizenization policy variables and placebo tests to analyze the robustness of policy effects,still from the three resident consumption theories of absolute income,income uncertainty and demonstration effect,test the effect of citizenization policy on The Mechanism Path of Consumption Behavior of Migrant Workers of Different Generations.Since the existing new economic migration theory and assimilation theory,the full text expands the theoretical connotation of "assimilation" and "migration" in China based on the intergenerational differences in consumption behavior of migrant workers.The study found:First,the internal consumption differentiation of migrant workers is prominent,and the degree of intergenerational consumption inequality between urban residents and migrant workers shows a trend that the eastern part is larger than the central and western parts in space.From the perspective of family intergenerational differences,the family intergenerational gap is the main reason for the differentiation of consumption among migrant workers and between urban residents and migrant workers.The difference between the marginal propensity to consume durable goods and urban residents is only 11% lower between the "second generation of migrant workers" and urban residents,while the difference between the marginal propensity to consume durable goods and The difference among urban residents is as high as 30%,which may be due to the intergenerational effect of the father’s migration experience,which affects the migration cost of the offspring and further expands the consumption differentiation of migrant workers.From the perspective of regional differences in inflow areas,the consumption propensity of migrant workers in third-and fourth-tier cities in the northwest region is higher than that in the eastern region,while the consumption propensity of migrant workers in first-and second-tier cities in the eastern region is higher than that in the western region,and the third-and fourth-tier cities in the southwest region are higher than those in the eastern region In the third-and fourthtier cities in the region,the consumption gap between migrant workers and urban residents shows a small gap in the central and western regions;a large gap in the southeastern region.The reason is that the wage premium in the southeastern region is high,but the degree of urbanization is low;the wage premium in the central and western regions is low,but the degree of urbanization is relatively high.Second,the empirical results show that the consumption behavior of migrant workers has the characteristics of a typical family life cycle.Due to the differences in education level,consumption concept and growth environment between the new generation of migrant workers and the older generation of migrant workers,their consumption expenditure and consumption structure are better than those of the older generation of migrant workers,especially the new generation of post-90 s and post-00 s.Migrant workers are even more significant.The older generation of migrant workers(post-70s)has the lowest propensity to spend on durable goods,and the new generation(post-90s)has a higher propensity to spend on durable goods than the new generation(post-80s).Third,based on the empirical results of family intergenerational differences,it is shown that the influence of parents’ migration experience on the consumption expenditure and consumption structure of offspring migrant workers is not only the result of the migration behavior itself,but also the result of the migration experience of the parents in the city.The wealth effect of income increases and the demonstration effect of urban life learning.This shows that the migration experience of the parents of the family has a positive effect on the consumption expenditure and consumption structure of the offspring.In the heterogeneity analysis of family support ratio,parents’ mobile years and education level,it is found that family aging will reduce the transfer effect of parents on the consumption expenditure and consumption structure of offspring migrant workers,while the parents’ education level and mobile years will increase This migration effect.This transfer effect is mainly through the mechanism of affecting offspring’s wage income,income uncertainty and urban demonstration effect,and then has a significant positive impact on consumption expenditure and consumption structure.Fourth,based on the empirical test under the theoretical logic framework of "identity appeal-consumption behavior",different generations of migrant workers have differences in their willingness to desire appeals,and this difference is presented in consumption behavior.The willingness to become a citizen has no effect on the consumption expenditure of the "second generation of migrant workers" and the new generation of migrant workers,but it has a significant effect on the promotion of the "first generation of migrant workers" and the older generation of migrant workers.In addition,the willingness to become citizens can optimize the consumption structure of the "second generation of migrant workers" and the new generation of migrant workers but has no significant effect on the optimization of the consumption structure of the "first generation of migrant workers" and the older generation of migrant workers.The results of heterogeneity analysis based on a regional perspective show that cities of different sizes have different requirements for migrant workers’ migration costs,migration capabilities,and migration forms.The older generation of migrant workers(post-70s)and the "generation of migrant workers" can best play the role of citizenization willingness in boosting consumption in small cities,and the new generation of migrant workers(post-80 s and post-90s)can best play the role of citizenization willingness in medium-sized cities.With the boosting effect of consumption,the new generation of migrant workers(post-00s)and "secondgeneration migrant workers" are more inclined to large and medium-sized cities.Therefore,comparing the influence of the current willingness to become citizens of migrant workers on the differences in consumption behavior between generations,the optimal path to achieve new urbanization and citizenization of migrant workers is to achieve hierarchical urban construction,public services,and industrial divisions in large,medium,and small cities.develop.The mechanism of linking household registration with urban public services has a greater negative impact on migrant workers who have no family intergenerational resources and relatively disadvantaged groups such as the older generation of migrant workers.A key factor in boosting consumption and optimizing structure.Fifth,based on the empirical test under the theoretical logic framework of "identity appeal-consumption behavior",the citizenization policy has a more significant boost to the consumption expenditure of the new generation and "secondgeneration migrant workers" households.The relative lag in the process of citizenization will inhibit the optimization and upgrading of the consumption behavior of migrant workers’ families,while promoting citizenization through the reform of the household registration system will not only increase the consumption expenditure of the new generation and "second-generation migrant workers" households,but also optimize the consumption structure and improve the durability of consumption.Percentage of expenditure on supplies.Reasons for the impact: The process of citizenization will significantly increase household consumption expenditure and consumption structure through the two mechanisms of increasing absolute income and reducing income uncertainty but will not increase household consumption expenditure and consumption structure through the consumption demonstration effect.The corresponding policy recommendations in this paper are: first,strengthen intergenerational mobility and deepen the flow mechanism of urban and rural factors;The will of urbanization and the process of citizenization have an important influence,improving social mobility and increasing the sense of fairness.The fourth is to strengthen the differentiated citizenization paths of different types of cities to achieve balanced development among regions.The fifth is to promote the citizenization process of different generations of migrant workers in layers based on the principles of "willing to lose everything" and "should return and return". |
