The Impact of Removing Selective Migration Restrictions on Education: Evidence from China
An open question in migration research is how the removal of selective migration restrictions affects migrants’ education
decisions. I analyze this question in the Chinese context, in which the household registration system imposes selective rural-urban
migration restrictions. The identification derives from a policy change that grants urban residency to a group of rural individuals
based on their dates of birth. Using a regression discontinuity approach, I find that educational attainments for barely eligible
rural residents decreased sharply after the reform. These effects are larger for males and for those able to permanently migrate
to relatively rich areas.
