Objective To compare the social support condition of Three Gorges migrants, that is, latter resettled migrants (in Chongqing) versus outside moving migrants (in Shandong).
Methods Migrants were selected in both Chongqing Municipality and Shandong Province by a cluster random sampling method, and the survey was performed by completing the questionnaire of general status and the social support rating scale (SSRS).
Results A total of 319 among 330 questionnaires distributed to Chongqing migrants were effective, accounting for 98.3%, and 320 among 340 questionnaires distributed to Shangdong migrants were effective, accounting for 94.1%. The results of the survey on social support showed that, a) The total score of social support of Chongqing migrants was significantly lower than that of Shandong migrants (P lt;0.01); b) The total score of Chongqing migrants in different genders was significantly lower than that of Shandong migrants in the same gender, respectively (P lt;0.05); c) All the scores of Chongqing migrants were significantly lower than those of Shandong migrants at the same age level except the objective score of the migrants at the age below 50 (P lt;0.05); and d) All the scores of Chongqing migrants were significantly lower than those of Shandong migrants at the same education levels except the objective score of the migrants at the education level above junior high school (P lt;0.05).
Conclusion Compared to the latter resettled migrants in Chongqing, outside moving migrants in Shandong obtain more social support and fully take advantage of that.
