摘要：

随着城镇化进程的推进，大规模成年子女的加速外流可能会削弱相对弱势的母亲在子代重大决策中的代际影响。文章利用2013年深圳市农民工调查数据，分析了农民工的母亲在子女重大事务决策中代际影响的现状及影响因素。研究发现，在城镇化背景下农民工的母亲对子女的重大事务决策依旧具有重要的影响，但这种代际影响并非家庭实权的体现，而是出于对长者尊严的维护；资源论、代际关系、文化规范论对农民工的母亲的代际影响均具有一定的解释力，但存在程度差异，其中代际关系的解释力最强，其次是文化规范中的孝道观念，资源论的解释作用最为微弱。

Abstract:

The massive rural youth migration in China in recent decades has weakened the traditional influence of mothers upon their adult children over important life decisions. This study analyzes the data from the 2013 Survey of Shenzhen Migrant Workers with application of OLS and Ordinal Logistic models to look into the intergenerational relationship between mothers and their migrant children. How influential are mothers today over their grown up children who have left home? What kind of factors determine the influence? These questions are examined through the lens of recourse theory,cultural norm theory and intergenerational relationship. We find that mothers of rural migrant workers still play an important role in their children's personal life and their important decision-makings. Children often consult mothers on important matters not so much out of deference to authority but out of respect. All three theoretical perspectives are somewhat applicable to explain this continuous influence,however,intergenerational relationship is by far the most relevant. Mothers with more resources,educational or otherwise,exert more influence on important matters of their migrant children. However,children with more recourses are not necessarily less inclined to consult with their mothers. A strong cultural value of filial piety leads to closer communication with mothers over key life decisions. The intergenerational kinship relationship appears to be the most significant factor determining the influence. Those who share similar outlooks and maintain a close and affectionate relation with their mothers are most likely to seek parental input over important personal decisions.

Key words: intergenerational influence, rural migrant workers'mothers, important life decisions
