农民工返乡的代际差异及生成机制研究--基于江苏省N村的实证分析

摘要

In the view of the life course theory , this paper compares the returning motivation, objectives and adaptability of two generations of migrant workers, finding differences in following aspects: income orientation Vs. the family orientation, returning to homeland Vs. taking root in the city, the pursuit of happiness Vs. the identity seeking. These differences are influenced by the macro institutional structure, family life cycle and generational and cultural transfer, behind which reflect different pursuits in material life and identity value between these two different generations of migrant workers. The finding would be helpful for the country to take some reasonable measurements to encourage migrant workers to return home, to accelerate the construction of new towns.%以生命历程理论为视角，通过对两代农民工的返乡动因、目标和适应性的比较，发现农民工返乡的代际差异主要体现为由收入本位向家庭本位、由回归乡土向扎根城市、由追求幸福向身份诉求的转变，这种差异源自于宏观制度结构、家庭生命周期、文化代际传递等因素的影响，其背后折射出不同代际农民工对于物质生活和主体价值的差异诉求，对于国家制定更加合理的鼓励农民工返乡的政策措施，加快推进新型城镇化建设，有一定的启示意义。
