HadHealth Insurance Improved the Happiness of People in Flexible Employment?——Evidence from CLDS data
As an important part of China's social security system,whether medical insurance can improve the happi-ness of flexible employees is one of the important yardsticks to test its effectiveness.Based on the data of the 2018 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey(CLDS),the impact of medical insurance on the happiness of flexible workers was studied by using ordinary least squares(OLS),and the results showed that basic medical insurance significantly improved the happiness of flexible employees,and the impact of medical insurance on the happiness of flexible work-ers with different incomes,ages and family sizes showed a certain heterogeneity.In order to well play the function of medical insurance and improve the happiness of flexible employees,the government should encourage insurance par-ticipation,appropriately reduce the proportion of contributions,and strengthen the publicity and interpretation of medical insurance policies.
