农民工留城定居是加快推进我国城镇化进程的重要方式.文章通过新劳动力迁移理论,从收入水平、对收入水平的感知两个方面系统分析了收入因素对农民工留城意愿的影响,并提出了相关的研究假设.基于2008年中国家庭收入调查数据(CHIP2008)的计量检验显示:家庭收入水平对农民工留城意愿具有显著的正向影响;农民工个人的工资水平对其留城意愿没有直接影响,但却可以通过影响农民工的收入满意度和收入位置感知而产生间接且积极的作用.此外,无论参照对象是老家的村里人还是城市居民,感知到的收入位置的提高对于农民工的留城定居均具有显著的积极作用,其中与城市居民相比较所产生的收入位置感知对农民工留城意愿的影响更大.The migrant workers’ settlement in cities is an important way to accelerate the urbanization in China. Based on new labor migration theory, this article analyzed the impact of the level of income and the income perception on the migrant workers’ settlement willingness in cities, and put forward a research hypothesis. Using the data from the Chinese Household Income Project in 2008 (CHIP2008), the econometric test showed that family income had significant positive influence on migrants urban-staying intention; personal income of migrant workers did not directly affect on their staying intention, but had an indirect influence through the income satisfaction and income perception of migrant workers. In addition, whether the reference object was the hometown fellow villagers or urban residents, the relative income satisfaction of migrant workers had a significant positive effect on their settlement willingness, and the income satisfaction derived from comparing with urban residents had the greater influence on their settlement willingness
