Abstract:
Objective:To assess the impact of urban-rural health insurance integration on the non-agricultural employment of rural labor in China.Methods:Using CHFS data(2011-2019)and a DID model,this study analyzed the impact on non-agricultural employment probability and quality(wage income,job stability)and examined the effect of different integration models.Results:The integration of urban and rural health insurance significantly increases the probability and quality of non-agricultural employment among rural labor.This effect operates through three key mechanisms:easing household liquidity constraints,improving health-related human capital,and expanding job search scope.Moreover,the"unified urban-rural tier"model proves more effective than the"one-system-multi-tiers"model in promoting non-agricultural employment and enhancing job quality.Conclusion:The integration positively contributes to improving rural labor allocation efficiency and mobilizing surplus rural labor capacity.Policy recommendations include accelerating the adoption of the"unified urban-rural tier"model and further refining the urban-rural resident health insurance system.
