Intergenerational income mobility refers to the children in the position of the income distribution of the changes in relative to the parent. The intergenerational income mobility is high means that personal success is mainly comes from its own efforts, rather than family background, it is the important embodiment of social justice and the basic source of economic efficiency. In this paper, the calculation results for the intergenerational income elasticity was 0.6, compared with other countries and regions of the world is definitely too high; Low social mobility will become the Chinese across the middle-income trap and key constraints to realize economic transformation. At the same time, our country rural human resource related indicators are showing the developed countries in the process of urbanization, industrialization of population characteristics, the production of population by the number of preference to the shift quality preference. This shift is mainly driven by the family planning policy, after the 1990s, was mainly dominated by industrialization and urbanization. This means that the growth of the population of our country countryside is decreasing while the year of the education is incresing.Based on the above research background, this paper tries to analysis respectively population mass transfer and intergenerational income mobility, and hope to discuss transfer on the influence of intergenerational income population quality. In this paper, the data used in the empirical part for China Health and Nutrition survey data (CHNS), through mining the relatives of the data set files,this paper gets the matching relationship between children and parents, as research data, the basis of correlation analysis.This paper is divided into seven parts, including:the first chapter is introduction, mainly introduces the research background and significance, briefly introduce thesis framework and relevant concepts; The second chapter related literature review:mainly divided into two parts, respectively related research achievements from abroad and domestic related research is discussed; The third chapter of intergenerational income mobility and population quality preference theory model is introduced; The fourth chapter for population quality preference change, the main shift from quality and quantity analysis; The fifth chapter to intergenerational income elasticity, mainly from the dose model introduced, process to the regression of intergenerational income elasticity and its brief analysis; Chapter vi is for population quality preference and intergenerational income mobility analysis, mainly including introduction of regression equations and quantitative analysis; Chapter seven is conclusion and policy recommendations.Based on the data of China Health and Nutrition survey, this paper argues that since the founding of the late seventys, our country family still prefers to produce more children, but since the 1980s, China began to implement the family planning policy, as both urban families and rural families due to policy began to decrease the number of children, in the 1990s, our country's family planning policy enforcement is abate, but according to the measurement results obtained in this paper, all the family began to produce fewer children, this is because the industrialization and urbanization of population transfer production quality preference. It is worth mentioning that since the founding of the early until late samples (2011) years, the average number of children in cities and towns has been below the average number of children in the countryside. In the aspect of the education level, city departments have been far higher than that of the rural sector, and with the development of economy, the gap has a tendency to expand.Combined in this paper, the use of population production preference change intensity coefficient can be seen that urban and rural population preference strength coefficient expanding, the gap between the people born between 1980 and 1989, the town's population preference strength coefficient is even higher than rural nearly doubled. The cause of the status quo of urban residents under the comprehensive function of many factors, in order to achieve maximum benefits, the rural residents pay more attention to the next generation of education investment, rather than to have more children.In terms of intergenerational income elasticity analysis, this paper adopts double logarithm model to analyze it, it is concluded that China's overall intergenerational income elasticity is about 0.6. The analysis of urban and rural departments respectively, the city department of intergenerational income mobility of elasticity is 0.669, the elasticity of intergenerational income mobility in rural areas is 0.558, intergenerational income mobility and intergenerational income elasticity negative correlation, namely compared to cities, more intergenerational income mobility in the countryside. The town's social and economic benefits have been more complex, the parent of high income are more likely to through its social and economic advantages to create conditions for children's income, thus the intergenerational income mobility is small; And the low of intergenerational income elasticity is related to the large-scale urban and rural labor transfer.Finally this paper discuss the population shift quality preference and the relationship between the intergenerational income. This part the regression equations are analyzed. We can see from the results of the analysis, the number of brothers and sisters in the measurement and the income of offspring is negative relative. From education duration of analysis,the education are negatively related to the number of brothers and sisters, the reason may be due to the decrease in the number of siblings, the increase of human capital investment of individual children, so that the human capital level.
