Home Ownership,and Laboring without Weariness:Government-Subsidized Housing and the Overwork of Migrant Population
Employment and housing issues have always been significant topics for the migrant population in urban development.Faced with the increasingly prominent phenomenon of overwork in the labor market,this paper explores the impact of government-subsidized housing on the overwork of migrant populations from the perspective of housing security.The study finds that government-subsidized housing effectively reduces the likelihood of overwork among migrant populations and decreases their overtime work hours.Mechanism analysis shows that the key to alleviating overwork through government-subsidized housing lies in enhancing social integration for mi-grant populations and increasing their access to health education.Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the mitigating effect of govern-ment-subsidized housing on overwork is more significant for rural-to-urban migrants,low human capital groups,and the new genera-tion of migrant workers.Further analysis reveals that the degree of overwork mitigation from government-subsidized housing is higher in large cities,and that public rental housing is more significant than owner-occupied subsidized housing.Under the policy background of expanding the supply of government-subsidized housing,the findings of this paper provide useful reference for improving the housing security system,as well as empirical support for safeguarding the labor security rights and interests of the migrant population.
