(2023) COSM40 20231Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies, Lund University
- Abstract
- This thesis examined the motivation for Chinese youth to immigrate in the post-pandemic era. The Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on Chinese economics, society, and political environment. This paper aimed to understand how these factors had influenced the immigration decisions of Chinese youth. The research adopted qualitative methods and gathered data from interviews with nine young mainland Chinese, to explore the impact of China’s Covid-19 pandemic on their willingness to immigrate. A hypothesis was brought up that pandemic caused economic inequality, political inequality, and deterioration of social trust might increase Chinese youth’s migration tendencies. And the findings had confirmed the hypothesis.
