Abstract:Based on the field survey data in Liaoning province,this paper analyzes the occupational flow of rural married female migrant workers and its effect on income from occupational flow frequency,flow direction and flow dynamics.The result shows that occupational flow frequency of rural married female migrant workers is low; the liquidity of occupational flow is significantly lower than men;the quality of occupational flow is low and most of the flow were parallel or no flow and seldom have upward flow.Their occupational flow mainly is passive,which shows the disadvantage in career choice.Frequent occupational flow is advantageous to the income growth of male migrant workers,but not significant to the income growth of married female migrant workers.Flow direction has no significant effect on the income growth of married female migrant workers,but upward flow is significant to the income growth of male migrant workers.Compared with passive flow,active flow is advantageous to the income growth of married female migrant workers,but not significant to the income growth of male migrant workers.Therefore,steady employment and income increase should focus on the heterogeneity of rural married female migrant workers so as to avoid the vicious cycle of frequent flow and income decline.
