Migrant-nonmigrant fertility differentials in Anhui, China.
"This analysis is designed to provide insights into the relation between migration and fertility in China. Survey data collected from Anhui Province in 1989 are used to evaluate whether fertility is higher or lower among the temporary migrants to urban places in comparison to permanent residents in those locations.... Our analysis will...assess the extent to which socioeconomic characteristics, family planning, and migration help to explain observed differences in the fertility of temporary migrants and permanent residents. In doing so, the basic question to be answered is whether temporary migrants have used their movement as a way to avoid official policies controlling fertility and, in so doing, have they contributed to a higher than average fertility in China?"
