Innovation of Urban-rural Dual Institution and the Citizenization of Rural Migrant Workers

This paper investigates the impact of urban-rural dual institution on the citizenization of rural migrant workers and the focus and direction of innovation of the institution. We firstly attribute the main institutional factors that influence citizenization of migrant workers to the urban-rural dual institution. And theoretical analysis of the impact on the will, the ability and decision-making of citizenization of migrant workers is given by use of cost-benefit theory, threshold theory, and we build a model of citizenization of migrant workers under double bound. Our results show that the urban-rural dual institution has obvious obstacles on the will, the ability and decision-making of citizenization of migrant workers. Therefore, the urban-rural dual system must be innovated.
