Whiles urbanization and rural-urban migration in China have been increased rapidly in recent years, more and more migration workers have chosen to bring their children to urban migration destinations. Because of the huge rural-urban gap in education funding, the choice of migrating with children versus leaving them behind in rural areas reflects demand of high educational quality by families. Further, different migration behaviors could also affect households' resource allocation on education. Since government plays a major role on the total cost of basic education, policies can be implemented to release family's budget constraint by raising the education finance. As a result, the extent to which private education cost by migrant households is closely related to the level of public funding.

520 $a Whiles urbanization and rural-urban migration in China have been increased rapidly in recent years, more and more migration workers have chosen to bring their children to urban migration destinations. Because of the huge rural-urban gap in education funding, the choice of migrating with children versus leaving them behind in rural areas reflects demand of high educational quality by families. Further, different migration behaviors could also affect households' resource allocation on education. Since government plays a major role on the total cost of basic education, policies can be implemented to release family's budget constraint by raising the education finance. As a result, the extent to which private education cost by migrant households is closely related to the level of public funding.
520 $a Using the 2008 Chinese Household Income Project (CHIP) data, my thesis attempts to investigate the determinants of family migration decision on children and the impact of children migration on educational expenditure. I merge the CHIP data with the macro educational fiscal data in migrants' place of origin and destination to to indicate the public fiscal support, and explore the relationship between household expenditure and governmental funding on education. I first run probit regressions to explore factors of migration decision on whether to bring children together or not. Results suggest that controlling for individual, household and regional characteristics, the level of educational funding in urban destinations is a key driving force for children's migration. In addition, the gap on educational funding between urban and rural areas is positively related to children's migration. I then examine the casual impact of children's migration on households' education expenditure using the Propensity Score Matching method. The estimates show that children's migration to urban areas induces higher household educational expenditure. Compared with the cost for left-behind children, the household expenditure for migrant children in urban public schools is around 62% to 64% higher. Lastly, I investigate the effects of public fiscal support at destination areas on migrant household's demand on education. It is evident that higher level of public funding increases the probability of enrolling in public schools. I also find crowding-in effect of government spending on private investment, which implies that families need to pay more when government expenditure increases.
520 $a My research is innovative as it is the first study to consider both private demand and pubic supply in children's migration issue. It is informative for either local or central government to consider balance the educational investment in both rural and urban areas if the governments intend to reduce children's rural-to-urban migration with their parents. Further, my results might be helpful for migrant parents to understand the costs associated with migrating children together: there is potential higher expenditure that they need to bare even if their children can be enrolled in better quality urban public schools. Finally, crowding-in effect suggests that public educational resources in destination areas are limited which calls for support from the central government.
