营养健康水平对农民工工资收入影响的调查研究

The Effect of the Rural Migrant Workers' Nutrition and Health Level on Salary Income

利用北京地区的调查数据,对农民工这一特殊群体的营养和健康状况进行详实的统计分析,集中反映出营养和健康水平、社会保障和工作环境现状对农民工收入的影响。结果发现,农民工收入与其营养和健康水平存在正相关关系,即营养水平越高,身体越健康,健康意识越强烈的农民工其收入水平也越高。这一观点的提出丰富了有关农民工研究的成果,对制定旨在提高农民工社会福利水平,实现城乡和谐发展的决策具有重要的参考价值。

The existing research is more likely to focus on the nutrition and health level of farmers, however, empirical studies aimed at those rural migrant workers are rare. Based on a questionnaire survey in Beijing city, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between the rural migrant workers＇ nutrition/health level and their salary income for the first time. As a result, the former has an significant impact on the latter, specifically the nutrition absorption and the Body Mass Index（BMI） has positive effect on salary income while the sick time and sleep time has clearly negative effect. From the data, those rural migrant workers who have got higher education, stayed on work for more years and undertaken jobs requiring more skills are capable to have higher income. This paper has enriched the studies on relative field and has important value for policy makers in pursuit of harmonious development in both urban and rural area.
