Comparative Advantage, Multidimensional Proximity and Labour Return Migration
Comparative advantage and multidimensional proximity between origin and destination regions intricately shape labour return migration. However, prior studies have predominantly focused on the adverse economic conditions of destination cities, neglecting the dual influence of both origins and destinations. To address this gap, we utilize data from the 2019 China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) and the National Bureau of Statistics to construct who…

Migrant Worker's Social Networks and Collective Behavioral Willingness-A Whole Network Analysis
Migrant workers' social networks are an important source of social support in their collective behavior. This study adopts the whole network method and proposes a measure of accumulated social capital in social networks, which makes up for the insufficiency of direct social capital. It compares the heterogeneous effects of formal and informal networks and accumulated and direct social capital on migrant workers' collective behavioral willingness …
Social Influence in Signed Networks
Social influence has been widely discussed in various disciplines due to its important sociological significance. However, the dynamics of social influence in signed networks have nonetheless received fairly little attention. In this article, we propose a generalized Pólya urn model that considers the effect of negative relationships and is capable of comprehending the specific mechanisms of homophily and xenophobia in the dynamics. Based on the …
The Effect of Fangcang Shelter Hospitals under Resource Constraints on the Spread of Epidemics
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fangcang shelter hospitals have been built and operated in several cities, and have played a huge role in epidemic prevention and control. How to use medical resources effectively in order to maximize epidemic prevention and control is a big challenge that the government should address. In this paper, a two-stage infectious disease model was developed to analyze the role of Fangcang shelter hospitals i…
Vulnerability and resilience in the wake of Covid-19
The present study uses data from a 2020 survey conducted in Shaanxi Province during the COVID-19 outbreak to examine the family resources and psychological well-being of four major groups of Chinese children (urban, migrant, rural nonmigrant, and rural left-behind children). The results highlight the complex ways in which family resources intersect with the pandemic to affect these different groups of children. Family economic resources have gene…
Exploring the Effect of Health on Migrants’ Social Integration in China
There are 376 million migrants, which account for more than 25% of the population in China according to the newest national demographic census, most of whom are from undeveloped areas to developed urban regions. Migrants' social integration was one of the most important issues when the country aimed to build an inclusive society. As a form of human capital, the effect of migrants' health status on social integration has rarely been explored until…
How Family Living Arrangements and Migration Distances Shape the Settlement Intentions of Rural Migrant Workers in China
Rural migrant workers and their families will decide the future of China's urbanization. Using data from the "China Migrants Dynamic Survey and Hundreds of Villages Investigation" carried out in 2018, we examine whether and how family living arrangements and migration distances shape rural migrant workers' settlement intentions in urban areas. In general, rural migrant workers' settlement intention is shown to be weak. However, individuals with c…
Family Structure, Family Instability, and Child Psychological Well-Being in the Context of Migration
This study conceptualizes parental migration as a dynamic family process that exposes children to parental absence and family instability. Using detailed migration histories, this study identifies the left-behind trajectories of rural Chinese children throughout childhood (age 1–12) and examines the impact on psychological well-being (N = 3,961). Results indicate heterogeneity in children’s experience of parental migration, which is characterized…
The Effect of Local and Global Interventions on Epidemic Spreading
Epidemic spreading causes severe challenges to the global public health system, and global and local interventions are considered an effective way to contain such spreading, including school closures (local), border control (global), etc. However, there is little study on comparing the efficiency of global and local interventions on epidemic spreading. Here, we develop a new model based on the Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) model…
An Energy Function for Computing Structural Balance in Fully Signed Network
Structural balance in fully signed networks consisting of both individual attributes and social interactions has great importance on social computing, but its sociological or physical mechanisms still need further exploration, and its measurement is still lacking. In this article, we discuss the new mechanism of balance theory and design a new energy function to measure the global structural balance. An optimization algorithm that minimizes the e…
Unequal pain
This article examines the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the employment of migrant workers in China. Our research has estimated that nationally, at least 30–50 million migrants lost their jobs in late March, far more than the local urban workers. An online survey also indicates that the rural-hukou population have borne the brunt of the outbreak. More than 90% rural-hukou migrant workers could not find work as of late February, compared to 42…
Optimizing dynamical changes of structural balance in signed network based on memetic algorithm
Floating Choices
Using data from a 2005 survey of rural-urban migrants in Shenzhen, we investigate the intentions of two groups of migrants. We use the birth years from 1970 to 1980 as a reasonable range of dividing lines to separate the two groups. For each year we divide the sample into those born before that year and those born in or after that year. These are referred to as the old generation and the new generation, respectively. Three possible development tr…
