In developing countries, the impact of migration on elderly care is often perceived to be negative, as young adults who migrate for labor or other reasons leave their elderly parents behind in backward villages. We argue that such a loss-of-care effect can be compensated by the income transferred from the migrant children to their elderly parents. Based on the 2004 General Social Survey in China (CGSS04), we studied both the effect of migration on income transfer to the elderly and the impact of migration on the overall wellbeing of the elderly in rural areas. Regression results show a strong enhancing effect of interprovincial migration on the income transfer to the elderly, increasing both the odds of a significant transfer by 67% and the overall amount by nearly 30%. The elderly in households with interprovincial migrant children were found more likely to be satisfied economically than those in households without any migrant children. The difference between the overall satisfaction of the two household types was found to be very little, however, indicating that the negative and positive effects of temporary migration were more or less balanced. The policy implication is that the overall wellbeing of the elderly in backward regions, especially in migration-sending areas, can be greatly improved if elderly care is community-based.

最低賃金が有効な貧困政策であるかの議論の前提を提供するため, この論文では最低賃金労働者の特性と最低賃金引き上げの雇用への影響を1982年から2002年にかけての『就業構造基本調査』に基づいて実証分析した。女性, 中卒・高卒, 地方勤務, 小売・卸売・飲食・宿泊業, パート・アルバイトといった属性をもつ労働者は最低賃金水準で働いている可能性が高い。2002年には最低賃金労働者の約15%が世帯年収300万円未満の世帯の世帯主であり, 約半数の最低賃金労働者は世帯年収が500万円以上の世帯の世帯員であった。最低賃金の上昇によって影響を受ける労働者の割合が都道府県ごとに異なることを用いた分析によれば, 最低賃金の上昇は10代男性労働者と中年既婚女性の雇用を減少させる。
