户籍转换促进居民健康吗?--来自CGSS2015数据的验证

Effects of Household Registration Conversion on Residents’ Health:Verification from CGSS2015 Data

基于2015年中国综合社会调查数据(CGSS),运用Logit模型考察了户籍身份转换对居民健康的影响。研究发现,户籍身份转换显著促进了居民健康,该结论在逐步增加控制变量以及控制内生性后,经济效应依然存在。其可能的机制在于,户籍身份转换提升了劳动力的市场进入水平,这可能使其更好地获得户籍转换地的社会保障等相关社会福利,从而提升健康水平。但是进一步分析发现,由征地等原因引发的被动性户籍转换并没有促进居民健康,而且"非农转居"的健康效应要高于"农转居"。对此,应深入破除妨碍劳动力市场流动的户籍体制弊端,提升户籍转换者的劳动力市场进入水平,促进户籍转换的自由选择,以更好的提升居民的健康获得感。

Based on the data of the 2015 China general social survey(CGSS), the Logit model was used to investigate the impact of household status conversion on residents’ health. The study found that household identity conversion significantly promoted the health of residents, and this conclusion remained after the gradual increase of other variables and the control of endogeneity. The possible mechanism is that the change of household registration status improves the entry level of the labor market, which may enable them to better obtain social security and other relevant social benefits in the place where they are transferred, thus improving their health. However, further analysis shows that the passive household registration conversion caused by land expropriation does not promote residents’ health, and the health effect of "non-transfer" is higher than that of "rural transfer". The main policy implication of this paper is that the disadvantages of the household registration system that hinder labor market mobility should be eliminated, the initiative of household registration identity transformation should be promoted, and the income level of the residents whose land is expropriated should be improved, so as to promote the healthy development of urbanization in China.
