Abstract：
Based on the survey data of rural-to-urban migrant workers in CHIP2002, CHIP2007,CHIP2008 and CLDS2014, this paper adopts statistical description and Probit regression method to study the impacts of the migrant workers’ habitation manner on their family migration decision. The empirical results show that a family migration is more likely to happen for those workers who have bought or rented an apartment in the city while there is little chance for those who live in factory dormitories or on building sites. It is also more likely for workers who have a college degree and above, but less likely for those who are engaged in industrial jobs and are bound by duties of supporting the elderly. In view of the soaring housing price in urban areas, this paper argues that being the major approach for migrant workers to become urban inhabitants, family migration is mostly dependent on public rental housing system in urban areas.
