The massive migration of laborers from rural areas to urban areas has resulted in many family issues including those related to children’s education and the protection and care of older parents. The purpose of this study was to explore factors associated with the family migration of farmer-workers. Using data from the 2012 China Mobile Population Survey, factors associated with family migration of farmer-workers were identified and policy recommendations for helping migrant-worker families stay together were discussed.
