Abstract:

With the reform getting more indepth, peasant workers are making greater contributions to the economy of their immigration regions. Their subjective recognition of their economic contributions shows differences due to various influences. Five factors of migration/immigration places, human capital, economic returns, social acceptance, and social identity are built in a logistic regression model to analyze their influences on the peasant workers’ subjective recognition of their economic contributions to the regions where they have come to work. Except for the first factor, all the other four factors significantly affect the workers’ subjective recognition of their economic contribution.
