Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
This study draws on data from a household survey conducted in these two cities of the Guangdong province. A series of covariance tests confirms the hypothesis that a given set of income determinants has different effects in different geographical and migratory-status settings. The effect of education on income also shows systematic variations with level of economic development. The temporary migrants who do not possess permanent residential status constitute an obvious disadvantaged group.
