Data from a 1998 migration survey in Hubei province are used to examine gender differences in the determinants of temporary labor migration from a multi-level perspective. The authors find that community level factors play a key role in temporary labor migration; models omitting community level variables are poor in predicting temporary labor migration. Significant gender differences exist in determinants of temporary labor migration. For men, temporary labor migration is mainly a response to community level factors; individual or household characteristics have little predictive power. For women, by contrast, temporary labor migration is predominantly determined by individual characteristics; community level factors are not as important.
利用1998年湖北省人口迁移调查的数据，从多层次视角考察临时劳动力迁移决定因素中的性别差异。作者发现，社区层面的因素在临时劳动力迁移中起关键作用；忽略社区层面变量的模型在预测临时劳动力迁移方面表现不佳。临时劳动力迁移的决定因素存在显著的性别差异。对男性而言，临时劳动力迁移主要是对社区层面因素的一种反应；个人或家庭特征的预测能力很小。相比之下，对女性来说，临时劳动力迁移主要由个人特征决定；社区层面的因素没那么重要。
