We make use of data of our group and the data of Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS) in 2010 to analyze the consumption level, consumption structure and consumption behavior of urban new-generation migrants. The conclusions are as follows: Monthly family average income of urban new-generation migrants is higher than urban and rural native peers while internal income stratification within urban new-generation migrants exists. However, Monthly family average consumption of urban new-generation migrants is lower than other groups, which mainly is passive consumption bundling with new life. As to consumption structure, urban new-generation migrants tend to be reasonable with high demand and tendency of development and entertainment. In all, their proportion of monthly family consumption to monthly family income is lowest, basic consumption accounts for much of the actual consumer spending, so their consumption can be improved widely.
