Children of Migrants: The Impact of Parental Migration on Their Children's Education and Health Outcomes
Published By: | Published Date: June, 01 , 2015This paper examines how parental migration affects children’s health and education outcomes. Using the Rural-Urban Migration Survey in China data we are able to measure the share of children’s lifetime during which parents migrated away from home. By instrumenting this measure of parental migration with weather changes in their home village when they were young we find a sizable adverse impact of exposure to parental migration on children’s health and education outcomes.
