Abstract

This paper analyzed the effects of urban-to-rural migration related policies on the household income of urban-to-rural migrant farmers. The policies were classified into 5 central government policies and 5 local government policies. For the policy effects to be analyzed without bias, propensity score matching and difference in difference were used in a consecutive manner as an analysis method. The analysis used survey data on 1027 people collected for a comprehensive support plan for urban-to-rural migrant farmers for 5 years from 2017 to 2021. The result showed that the household income of urban-to-rural migrant farmers with at least one of central government and local government policies was higher than those without any benefits of central government and local government. However, the result was not statistically significant. In other words, there was statistically no difference between the urban-to-rural migrant farmers with benefit of at least one of central government and local government policies and those without any benefit. For the specific central government policy, the policy of house and agricultural facility fund support and the policy of residential support were statistically positive in household income effect. For the specific local government policy, only the policy of living cost support such as education, child support expense and childbirth grant had statistically positive household income effect.
