摘要：
This study investigates the impact of education policies on family migration decisions and service sector growth in China. Cities often restrict migrant children's enrollment in urban public schools, which tends to keep both children and their mothers in their hometowns. Using a shift-share design, we show that relaxing these enrollment policies encourages the migration of children and their mothers from rural areas. We then develop a quantitative general equilibrium model that incorporates labor–housework time allocation, family migration decisions, urban sectoral choices, and children's school enrollment. The model reveals that education restrictions hinder female migration more than male migration, contributing to the relatively slow growth of China's urban service sector. This, in turn, affects household service prices and the labor supply of urban female workers. Counterfactual analysis predicts that eliminating enrollment restrictions would increase migration, labor supply, productivity, and GDP growth.
