We study how the number and gender of children affect rural-tourban parental migration in China. Exploiting variation from the “1.5- child policy,” which allowed a second birth only if the firstborn was a girl, we separately identify the causal effects of fertility and child gender based on a novel semi-parametric method. Using the 2010 population census, we find that an additional child increases the likelihood of joint parental migration by 12.1 percent, while the presence of a son raises it by a further 11.6 percent. These comparable magnitudes show that gender matters as much as fertility in shaping migration decisions. The results suggest that the higher financial demands of larger families—especially those with boys—outweigh the emotional costs of separation, motivating parents to migrate. Traditional IV estimates would be severely downward biased if only the number of children were considered.
