我国留守儿童的情感健康研究

Research on the Emotional Well-Being of Chinese Left-Behind Children

本文利用中国家庭追踪调查（CFPS)2010年基线数据，研究国内迁移对10-15岁儿童情感健康的影响。通过在五组儿童之间进行比较，包括有当地户口且与父母一起居住的农村儿童、有当地户口且与父母一起居住的城市儿童、随单亲或双亲迁移的儿童、父母一方外出务工的留守儿童、父母双方外出务工的留守或寄养在其他亲属家庭的儿童，本文预期与同父母一起居住的儿童相比，后三类儿童存在情感障碍增大的风险。本文用常规回归模型和社区固定效应模型检验的结果不一致，且不完全支持研究假设，因此得出结论：我国家庭居住类型对儿童情感健康的影响很小。

Using data from the China Family Panel Studies ( CFPS ) in 2010 ， we studied the effects of domestic migration in China on the emotional well-being of children between the ages of 10 and 15. We compared five sample groups : ( a ) rural children with local resident status living with both parents ; ( b ) urban children with local resident status living with both parents ; ( c ) children accompanying their migrant parent ( s ) ; ( d ) left-behind children living with one parent while the other works ; and ( e ) children left behind or sent to live with other relatives while both parents work. We assumed the last three groups to be at risk of increased emotional difficulties compared to those children living with both parents. We tested this assumption through both a conventional regression model and a community fixed- effects model. The result suggests that our assumption is inconsistent with the results ， which leads us to conclude that within the Chinese context ， family arrangements have little impact on the emotional well-being of children.
