Social Network,Identity Cognition And Workers' Willingness To Settle In Cities And Towns

Since the reform and opening up,the rapid development of China's economy has strongly promoted the process of urbanization.Under the background of new urbanization,it is the real meaning of whether they are willing to be citizen that the willingness to settle in cities and towns,and it is an important guarantee for the development of new urbanization.Based on this.,this paper makes an in-depth study on the settled intention that migrant workers to urbanization,and provides some empirical evidence and theoretical basis for improving the level of urbanization in China.This study divides migrant workers' willingness to settle in cities and towns into two types:the local urban settlement willingness based on the town and country town closer to home town,and the remote urban settlement willingness in the large and medium-sized cities far away from home.From the perspective of social network and identity cognition to analyze the influencing factors of migrant workers' urban settlement willingness in different types,as well as the interaction effect of social network and identity cognition.In the process of empirical research,this research will use the data of migrant workers from different areas in Anhui province were collected by fieldwork,including the first generation of migrant workers and the new generation of migrant workers.Based on sample data,according to the characteristics of the research variables,the paper choose the Binary Probit model to apply to the study.Set the first generation of migrant workers as the control group,through comparative analysis,this paper draws the following conclusions:The social network has no significant direct impact on migrant workers urban settlement willingness,but through the interaction effect of social network and identity cognition,the social network can have significant indirect influence on migrant workers urban settlement willingness.To be specific:first,strong ties has a significant positive impact on the willingness of the first generation of migrant workers to move closer to the city,and show a significant negative impact on their willingness to the remote urban.on the contrary,weak ties has a significant negative impact to the first generation of migrant workers nearby urban settlement willingness and show a significant positive effect impact on their willingness to settle in the remote cities;for the new generation of migrant workers,the strong relationship weakens the orientation that migrant workers to the identity of self-urban citizens,reduces the willingness of urban settlement,and the weak relationship can strengthen the positioning of migrant workers to the identity of self-urban citizens.So it can improve the willingness to urban settlement.Meanwhile,the commom effect of social network and identity cognition can play a buffer role between strong ties and weak ties.In contrast,the new generation of migrant workers has stronger willingness to settle in urban than the first generation of migrant workers,and the impact of social network on the willingness of new generation migrant workers to urbanization is greater.Secondly,the impact of identity cognition on the settlement intention of migrant workers cities and towns is shown as follows:significantly improving the settlement willingness of two generation migrant workers in foreign places,and not significantly affecting the settlement willingness of local towns.In the end,income and the number of work change also affect migrant workers' urban settlement intention.The influence of income on the two generation of migrant workers urban settlement willingness is different.the impact on the first generation of migrant workers' willingness to settle in local towns is positive significance,and the impact on their willingness to settle in foreign cities is not significant.the impact on new generation of migrant workers' local urban settlement willingness will be significantly negative,and the impact on their willingness to settle in the foreig cities is positive.The frequency of work change has a significant reduction effect on the urban settlement intention of the two generation of migrant workers.Through the study of migrant workers' urban settlement intention,it is found that near urbanization has become a major way of urbanization for migrant workers.
