This study analyzes the factors influencing household consumption among the floating population (commonly referred to as the Family Registry System) using data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS). It examines how variables such as household income, household size, housing type, gender of household heads, education level, and age impact consumption decisions in both urban and rural areas. Additionally, the study compares the determinants of consumption between two years by integrating CFPS data from 2010 and 2018. Furthermore, with a specific focus on the floating population, the study explores how the factors influencing consumption evolved between 2010 and 2018. The findings indicate that the overall consumption of the floating population did not improve in 2018 compared to 2010. Notably, the consumption of the floating population originating from urban areas declined in 2018 relative to that of the floating population from rural areas.
