摘要:

随着中国户籍制度改革的不断深化,社会结构转型不断加快,而以乡音为代表的群体间文化差异成为流动人口在经济和社会融合过程中的重要障碍之一。本文基于2018年中国家庭追踪调查数据(CFPS),实证检验了方言差异对流动人口收入水平的影响及其作用机制。研究发现使用家乡方言显著降低了流动人口的收入水平。异质性分析表明,这种方言差异在受教育程度较低的流动人口以及北方地区的流动人口中更为明显。机制分析表明,方言差异会通过影响流动人口对邻居的信任度和小区邻里关系进而影响流动人口的收入水平。进一步研究发现,方言距离也会对流动人口的收入水平产生显著的负向影响。本文为推动流动人口的社会融入提供了有益的政策启示。

Abstract:

As reform of China's household registration system continues to deepen, the transformation of the social structure is also accelerating. The cultural differences among groups represented by the local accent have become one of the important obstacles to the economic and social integration of the migrant population. This article empirically tested the impact and mechanism of dialect differences on the income level of migrant population based on the 2018 China Family Panel Survey (CFPS) data. The main research finds that the use of hometown dialects significantly reduces the income level of migrant population. The results of heterogeneity analysis indicate that this dialect difference is more obvious among the less educated migrant population and the migrant population in northern regions. Mechanism analysis shows that dialect differences can affect the income level of migrant population by influencing their trust in their neighbors and neighborhood relationships. Further research finds that dialect distance also has a significant negative impact on the income level of migrant population. The research findings of this article provide useful policy insights for promoting the social integration of migrant population.
