Group differentiation and spatial pattern of residence stability of floating population

Using the sampling survey data of 1% of the population in 2015, this paper analyzes the overall characteristics, group differentiation and spatial differences of the residence stability of the floating population, and discusses the influencing factors of the residence stability of the floating population. The results show that: a. the average residence time of China’s inter city floating population in the current city is about 5 years, the residence stability of the new generation of floating population is not significantly different from that of the old generation, and the residence stability of the floating population engaged in industrial industry is significantly lower than that of all kinds of service industry practitioners; b. the residence stability of the floating population in the province is lower than that of the inter provincial floating population, and it is more likely to leave the current city and turn to inter provincial mobility; c. there are obvious differences in the spatial pattern and influencing factors of the scale and residence stability of urban floating population. Although income level and employment opportunities are still the main factors to attract floating population, urban livable factors such as public services, housing market and environment are more important to improve the residence stability of floating population.
