(3)The self-employed social network embeddedness affects the income of the migrants through intergenerational inheritance. For parents with migrant work experience, there is an indirect inheritance effect on the self-established network of their children. (4) There are regional differences in the impact of social network embeddedness on the income of migrants. The migrants in central and coastal areas prefer to establish their own network, while the northeast region is more cohesive to the kinship social network. From the perspective of social network, this paper finds empirical evidence of different causes of the migration and how to affect their income, in order to provide reference for the balanced allocation of urban and rural human resources structure.
