“…As for soil nutrient and land use, some studies believe that it is beneficial to the agricultural population growth, but regions with large agricultural production potential may also be experiencing population loss [ 53 ]. Areas with favorable agricultural conditions (represented by soil nutrients), carrying more agricultural population, have become the main source of out-migration for better job opportunities.…”

Spatial heterogeneity of internal migration in China: The role of economic, social and environmental characteristics

The purpose of this paper is to explore the spatial heterogeneity of internal migration in China and to discuss the influence of economic, social and environmental characteristics on this demographic process. The overall results suggest that migration in China occurred from inland to coastal areas and from rural areas to urban areas. By stepwise regression, we identified that 9 out of 15 factors with potential influence on internal migration were retained, and the multicollinearity among them was reduced. In addition, we used the OLS and GWR regression analysis to discuss the global and local effects of relevant factors on internal migration. Economic scale (GDP), population concentration (population density) and demographic dividend (labour force proportion) were the three main driving forces of internal migration. In turn, internal migration further widened the gap of economic scale, population agglomeration and demographic dividend between counties and cities. Internal migration in southern coastal areas of China was most affected by economic aspects and demographic dividend. In the central China, the population was more concentrated in high-density cities, while in the eastern regions, areas with high level of education were conducive to immigration, thus forming talent reserve highlands. In the west, areas with highly educated level faced out-migration, which might cause brain drain and widen further the gap in talent reserves between the east and the west in China. From the perspective of location, the net immigration of the provincial capital was accompanied by the net immigration of the surrounding area, which was conducive to the formation of city clusters or urban sprawl. On the other side, the net immigration in prefecture-level cities often meant the net out-migration in surrounding areas. The correlation is particularly strong in eastern coastal provinces.

“…Participants were asked to provide their approximate level of FTC via an eleven-point scale that ranged from 0% (1) up to 100% (11). Scholars have used comparable scales to measure their dependent variable in various business and sustainability studies (Barnes et al, 2016;Beaton & Tougas, 1997;Kuusela & Amacher, 2016;Mast et al, 2011;Musa & Gopalakrishna 2022;Perugini & Bagozzi 2004;and Zhang 2011).…”

As societal and environmental injustices are increasingly prevalent, expectations for organizations to implement sustainable practices, such as Fair Trade, have grown. Previous research has demonstrated that Fair Trade consumers have the emotional attribute of compassion and the educational trait of desire for sustainability awareness. This paper builds on prior research by introducing consumers’ spiritual attributes of past life belief (PLB) and positing the effect of PLB on Fair Trade consumption (FTC). The article is novel as it is the first to introduce and link the spiritual attribute of PLB to FTC while addressing racism, religious discrimination, sexism, classism, societal and environmental stewardship, and nationalism. The sample size for this study is one hundred fourteen, N=114. Results were analyzed through hierarchical multiple regression. It was found that PLB is positively related to FTC.

“…The first classification is the hukou suozaidi /户口所在地 (the place of hukou /户口 registration), based on a person's presumed regular residence and is either rural or urban. The second classification, hukou leibie /户口类别, is based on status or type of hukou /户口and is either agricultural ( nongye /农业) or non‐agricultural ( feinongye /非农业 or chengzhen/城镇 (Zhang, 2011).…”

Rural modernization and the remaking of the rural citizen in China: Village redevelopment, migration and precarity

The Chinese government's ambitious plans to modernize the countryside have significant impacts for rural populations. Upgrading or relocating villages is one component of this vision with profound implications for rural citizens. We use multiple social science research methods to investigate ongoing rural transformation in two villages designated for Village Redesign in Anhui Province, China. We show that the Village Redesign process is negatively impacting on the migration–development nexus and the resultant limbo deepens the precarity of high‐mobility, translocal households who already experience secondary forms of citizenship and limited social protections. This study raises further questions about the ongoing transformation of rural China and questions the modernizing rural agenda of the Chinese state.
