The Impact of Access to Public Health Rights and Interests on the Settlement Intention of Ethnic Minority Migrants
To facilitate Chinese-style modernization with high-quality population development,enhancing the overall quality of the population is the key.The availability and accessibility of the public health rights of the floating popula-tion are key factors in enhancing the physical quality,settlement intention,and urban integration of the floating popula-tion.By analyzing the 2018 China Migrants Dynamic Survey(CMDS),the study focuses on the current situation of pub-lic health rights and interests of ethnic minority migrants in the places of inflow,and further use the BLR model to em-pirically analyze the accessibility of public health rights and interests of ethnic minority migrants.The study specifical-ly scrutinizes the influence of public health rights accessibility for the family's primary labor force(individuals)and other family members(young children,pregnant women)on the settlement intentions of ethnic minority migrants.Addi-tionally,it delves into the heterogenous impact of accessibility to population health rights on households'settlement in-tentions among ethnic minorities with varying characteristics.The study found that:First,the availability and accessibil-ity of public health rights have a significant positive impact on the settlement intention of ethnic minority migrants,and there are differences in the impact.The impact of family members'public health rights is greater than the individual impact,but there is no significant correlation between the availability of maternal public health rights and family settle-ment intention.Second,different health rights projects have different impact weights on the accessibility of health rights for each group.The health record project has the greatest impact on individual public health rights and interests,the vaccination project has the greatest impact on the public health rights and interests of young children,and the effects of the four public health rights and interests projects of pregnant women are not much different.Third,for groups with dif-ferent characteristics,the more public health rights they obtain,the higher the incidence rate of their settlement inten-tion,and the impact is different.The accessibility of public health rights has a greater impact on the settlement inten-tion of ethnic minority migrants who have low education,live separated from their spouses,and move across cities with-in the province.
