摘　　要：This research examines the shifts in age profiles among migrants in China,utilizing microdata derived from four national censuses and two 1%population sample surveys conducted since 1990.Our findings indicate:(1)there has been a surge in age-specific migration intensity across all age groups over the past two decades;(2)the age profiles of the flow floating population differ from both the entire and the residual migrant populations;and(3)the age profiles of China’s flow floating population exhibit a blend of Asian and Western patterns-a prevalence among individuals in their early 20s,typical of Asian patterns,and a broad range of ages post-peak,indicative of Western patterns.Consequently,we propose that future population projections prioritize the flow floating population over the traditionally employed entire floating population.Furthermore,recognizing heterogeneity is critical for accurately understanding migrants in China,necessitating a comprehensive migration policy that safeguards the rights and welfare of these individuals.
