Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the migration pattern
and characteristics of migrants in Beijing during the period of
1950-1983 and of recent out-migrants from Beijing. The study is based
on two kinds of data; one is the migration survey data of Beijing in
1984, the other is the registration data for Beijing (1950-1983).
The thesis is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 provides a
general background of the study and the study area. Chapter 2 reviews
the literature on migration and serves as a theoretical framework for
the thesis. In Chapter 3, the study reviews the migration trend and
pattern in Beijing from 1950 to 1983. It also examines the relationship
between migration and economic development. In Chapter 4 and Chapter 5,
the study discusses the social and economic characteristics of
in-migrants to Beijing and out-migrants from Beijing and compares these
characteristics with those of non-migrants. The study also tries to
assess the validaty of certain hypotheses on internal migration in the
context of Beijing. Finally, Chapter 6 provides some conclusions about
migration to Beijing. It also puts forward some suggestions for further
study on migration in China.
