Abstract: Abstract Family migration has become the main migration pattern of rural-urban migration in China, which is characterized by phasing and dynamic. Previous studies have focused on the impact of housing on individual migration, paying less attention to family migration, and few studies have examined the impact of housing in different stages of family migration. This paper constructs a staged and dynamic decision-making mechanism based on the Todaro model, which divides family migration into two stages: family separation stage and family reunion stage, and uses data from the 2017 China Migrant Dynamic Survey for analysis. The following conclusions are drawn: housing cost has a significant negative impact on rural-urban family migration of renting households and a significant positive impact on rural-urban family migration of purchasing households. The effect of housing ownership on family migration is significantly positive and mainly plays a role in the family reunion stage. The effect of relative housing deprivation on family migration is significantly negative. The results of this paper will help formulate housing policies that are more compatible with family migration to serve new urbanization.
