社会流动与流动渠道:农民城市打工现状的理论解释

从社会流动的相关理论、特别是社会流动渠道的角度出发,分析我国现阶段的农民工城市流动现象,可得出以下结论:(1)我国农民工流动绝大部分为水平流动,向上的垂直流动少之又少,其工作现状令人担忧;(2)农民工流动的渠道单一,大多仅依靠自身的社会资本,其它流动渠道堵塞,由此形成诸多社会问题;(3)农民工水平流动的渠道是社会资本,而导致其向上垂直流动的主要渠道是人力资本.

Social Mobility and its Channel: A Theoretical Explanation of Migrant Workers in China

This paper,based on the theories of social mobility and mobility channels especially,analyzed China's mobility of rural migrant workers,and then reached the following important conclusions:(1) The mobility is generally a horizontal one with very little vertical uplifting,and their working condition is alarming.(2) The mobility channel for the population is really single,and since other channels are blocked to them they could only depend on their own individual social capital,which will hence cause a lot of social problems.(3) The horizontal mobility channel is one of social capital,while the vertical mobility channel for uplifting the people belongs to human capital.
