Since the late 1990s, migrant workers in China have exhibited little enthusiasm to participate in the basic pension insurance schemes that have been promoted by the central and local governments in China. Previous research found that socioeconomic and family factors might have influenced migrant workers' decision to participate in the basic pension schemes. This article explores the impact of institutional factors on migrant workers' willingness to participate in the scheme, such as the work place, the nature of the enterprise, workers' labour contract status, workers' knowledge of the scheme, as well as their personal contribution rate.

20世紀90年代以來，中國各級政府出台了一系列農民工養老保險政策，但是農民工參與養老保險的熱情不高。之前的一些研究主要討論了影響農民工參與養老保險的個人社會經濟地位和家庭因素。本文通過實證研究探討影響農民工參加養老保險意願的制度性因素。研究結果顯示，與制度相關的一些因素如農民工打工省份是否是其戶籍所在地省份、就業行業性質、是否簽訂勞動合同、農民工自身是否了解養老保險政策信息、對參保手續看法、養老保險個人繳費率等都會在不同程度上影響農民工的參保意願。
