Implication

Longitudinal econometric analysis reveals that climate shocks increase female migration decisions, indicating significant modulation by educational attainment and elderly care responsibilities.

Key Points

To investigate how climate-related shocks, local labor market conditions, and household dynamics drive female internal migration within a push-and-pull framework.
Analyzed longitudinal microdata from the China Family Panel Studies (2010–2022) linked with city-level climate and economic metrics.
Estimated gender-specific probit regression models to evaluate the impacts of environmental stress, labor markets, and household constraints on migration behavior.
Droughts, heatwaves, and floods function as environmental push factors driving female migration, whereas urban economic opportunities serve as primary pull factors.
Climate-induced migration is significantly gendered: higher educational attainment facilitates female mobility, while household elderly care obligations restrict relocation.
