Abstract

Chinese urbanization has been studied on many different fronts, but there is no available study clearly articulates the effects of rural migration to cities on the rural residents. The purpose of this study is to show how rural-to-urban migration in mainland China affects aggregate rural consumption from 2010 to 2018. Firstly, it was found that the more urban the province is, the greater the consumption and income within that province. It was also found that the rural-to-urban population has some qualitative impact on rural consumption. Generally, provinces that switch from rural to urban provinces over the period experience greater impacts on consumption in relation to migrant population than totally rural or urban provinces. This is especially apparent in consumption categories such as transportation and communication. However, in the absence of more specific migration and savings rates, the full extent of this result cannot be quantified.
