Economic reforms during the 1980s, especially in rural areas, have led to significant changes in demographic behavior. There has been a striking increase in the volume of migration, and forms of population mobility have also changed. My dissertation focuses on two areas that are relatively absent in the literature on Chinese migration, namely, remittances and networks. My purposes are: (1) to examine the determinants of decision to remit and amount to remit; (2) to investigate the role of networks in migration decision-making, and adaptation to the receiving society; and (3) to develop the policy implications of this research.

520 $a Economic reforms during the 1980s, especially in rural areas, have led to significant changes in demographic behavior. There has been a striking increase in the volume of migration, and forms of population mobility have also changed. My dissertation focuses on two areas that are relatively absent in the literature on Chinese migration, namely, remittances and networks. My purposes are: (1) to examine the determinants of decision to remit and amount to remit; (2) to investigate the role of networks in migration decision-making, and adaptation to the receiving society; and (3) to develop the policy implications of this research.
520 $a The analysis of remittances reveals that the most influential factor in the decision to remit and amount to remit is the nature of family ties, both economical and emotional. Migrants who received family financial assistance on migration are more likely to remit and remit larger amount than migrants who did not. A similar effect is observed among those who visited home in the past 12 months prior to the survey, an approximate indicator of family closeness. Migration status is found to be another significant determinant. Temporary migrants are more likely to send money home than their permanent migrant counterparts, partly due to their desire to insure their position at home, and partly due to the fact that their immediate families are usually left behind so the remittances are a manifestation of care and loyalty.
520 $a The analysis of networks indicates that people who migrated before, who had a migrant member in the family, and who had received remittances previously, manifest a stronger tendency to migrate. Remittances are found to constitute a critical, if not indispensable, part of the network connecting migrants to their origin families. The study also reveals that in the migration self-reinforcing process, those who remit are more apt to suggest migration to their interested friends or relatives. Furthermore, migrants who received assistance from friends or relatives at the destination are also more likely to encourage the migration of others.
