Abstract

As the urbanization continues to play the siphon effect of human resources, in the process of marketization, the migrants have formed a certain work way, using 2016 monitoring data of the migrants in China, the migrants in the study of the acquisition work embed mode adopted by the social network and its mechanism of action of the income effect.The results show that:(1)The types of social network embeddedness of migrants can be divided into kinship social network, organizational social network, instrumental social network and self-built social network.(2) Compared with the kinship social network, the secondary social network embeddedness, such as other organizational types, has a positive effect on the income of the migrants, and the results are still stable after using a variety of strategies to overcome the possible endogenous problems. (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.
