“…Table 1 shows the descriptive statistics. Overall, approximately 61% of rural-urban migrants intend to permanently reside in cities, which is very close to the finding of Tan et al (2015) but higher than the result of most earlier studies. The reason that the percentage of rural-urban migrants who intend to permanently settle down in cities is higher than the finding of most previous studies may be that in the RUMiC survey, the question to measure urban-settlement intention of rural-urban migrants was set with the premise of "if policy allowed."…”

“…Recently, a large set of studies have been dedicated to exploring which factors influence the intention for ruralurban migrants in China to permanently settle down in cities (e.g. Cao et al, 2014;Connelly et al, 2011;Fan, 2011;Hao and Tang, 2015;Liu and Wang, 2014;Tan et al, 2015;Tang and Feng, 2015;Zhu, 2007;Zhu and Chen, 2010). Rural-urban migrants in China are those who work in urban areas, but their household registration (hukou) is registered in the countryside.…”

“…Using survey data in Beijing in , Fan (2011 discovered that approximately 30-40% of rural-urban migrants in Beijing expressed an intention to settle down permanently. More recent studies indicate that around 50% of rural-urban migrants were willing to settle down in cities as opposed to returning to rural areas (Cao et al, 2014;Gu and Ma, 2013;Liu and Wang, 2014;Tan et al, 2015;Tang and Feng, 2015). Increasingly, rural-urban migrants tend to stay in cities permanently under the rapid urbanization of China.…”

A R T I C L E I N F O Keywords:Physical health Mental health Urban-settlement intention Rural-urban migrant China A B S T R A C T Previous studies have not paid enough attention to the effect of health on urban-settlement intention of ruralurban migrants in China. Using survey data from the Rural Urban Migration in China project, this article examines how self-rated physical and mental health influence rural-urban migrants' intention to settle down in cities. First, the results show that both self-rated physical and mental health are significant factors influencing the migrants' intention to permanently move to cities. Second, the effect of physical health on rural-urban migrants' intentions to permanently reside in cities can be moderated by their length of urban residence. Third, the impact of health on rural-urban migrants' urban-settlement intention shows no generational differences. According to the research findings, this paper discusses how urban-settlement intention of rural-urban migrants based on health selection might impair urbanization, exacerbate health disparity between the rural and urban areas, and aggravate the burden on healthcare system in rural areas of China in the long run.

“…Much scholarly efforts have been made to address this hukou puzzle (S. Chen & Liu, ; Hu, Xu, & Chen, ; Mohabir, Jiang, & Ma, ; Tan et al, ; Yue et al, ; Zhu, ), but the understanding of this issue is constrained by three major limitations in previous studies. First, most previous studies have neglected the variation of migrants' intention of hukou transfer in cities of different sizes.…”

China's recent hukou reform provides opportunities for rural-urban migrants to acquire formal citizenship and for the country's urbanisation to step into a fair and humanistic stage. However, the between-city variation in migrants' intention of hukou transfer and the heterogeneity of its influencing factors have rarely been examined.These research gaps make it impossible to the rationality and effectiveness of the localised hukou entry criteria formulated by city governments. In this paper, we addressed the gaps by using nationwide large-sample survey data and a multilevel modelling approach with particular focus on the effects of city size. Results confirmed the higher willingness of migrants in larger cities for hukou transfer, which is in sharp contradiction with the small-city orientation of the current hukou reform. Our findings further verified the greater preference of well-educated migrants for large cities than less educated groups, implying an accelerated concentration of talents in leading cities. This research demonstrates the importance of the between-city variation perspective in understanding the variegated thoughts of rural-urban migrants, the effectiveness of localised public policies, and the future of China's migrant-dominated model of urbanisation.

Since the expansion of social insurance to migrants and the abolition of unequal regulations and controls related to the rural-urban migrants in recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the determinants of migrants' settlement intentions. Using the 2016 National Floating Population Dynamics Monitoring Survey (NFPDMS), this study examines the associations between migrants' urban social welfare participation and their settlement intentions, including long-term settlement intention and transfer of one's hukou status. Results from logistic regression show that participation in urban social welfare schemes increases migrants' intention to have a long-term residence in the city and to convert to urban hukou. Results also suggest that the impact of social insurance coverage on long-term settlement intention as well as urban hukou intention increases as migrants spend more time in the destination city. Our study highlights the salient role of urban welfare coverage as a strong determinant of migrant workers' settlement intentions in urban China.
