Abstract: The care status of left-behind children is an important factor affecting their negative behaviors. Using the data from Survey on Children and Old Adults Left-behind in Rural China in 2016, this study analyzed the actual care status of left-behind children and the association between the actual care status and negative behaviors through Logistic Regression analysis and negative binomial regression approach based on the three-dimension framework of care status(type, capability, action). The results showed that, firstly, the left-behind children had higher incidence of negative behaviors, and negative behavior problems were serious. Secondly, there was a significant correlation between care ability and the number of negative behavior and negative behavior type of left-behind children, as well as between care action and the number of negative behavior and negative behavior type. While there was no significant correlation between care type and the number of negative behavior and negative behavior type of left-behind children. Based on the integrated security framework, this study further analyzed the difference of practical effect on care status of left-behind children from the dimension of care type, care ability and care action, and proposed strategies to reduce the negative behaviors of left-behind children from the perspective of public policy.

Key words: care status, behavioral problems, left-behind children
