Previous studies on internal migration in China are mostly limited to the macro-level analysis of aggregate migration flows and the cross-sectional data collected at a single point in time. Using micro data samples from China’s 1990 census and 2005 national sample survey, this talk examines whether and how migration patterns and spatial choices differ between permanent migrants (with household registration status at the destination) and temporary migrants (without household registration status at the destination) and how such differentials change between 1985 and 2005. Our findings suggest that state institutions co-evolve with market mechanisms to influence the patterns and processes of internal migration in refor m-era China.
