摘要:Migration has been considered as an important strategy of raising income for rural households. The impact of migration on well-being of the left-behind however is not straight forward. By using panel data of experienced well-being measured by Day Reconstruction Method (DRM) in rural China, the study investigates the overall impact of migration of adult children on subjective well-being (SWB) of the left behind parents. The instrumental variable estimates suggest the left-behind parents are worse off in experienced well-being when their adult children migrate, even though they are economically better off. The decomposition analyses on time allocation and activity specific affections suggest the left-behind parents spend more time on work and less time on social activity (especially when male children migrate), and experience lower well-being during activities (especially when female children migrate). The study calls for attention of both policy makers and researcher on well-being of the left-behind parents for goal of a healthy ageing society.
