Abstract:Based on the 2017 National Floating Population Health and Family Planning Dynamic Monitoring Survey, this paper uses the Probit model and the Ordered Probit model to empirically test the impact of health and education human capital on the willingness of migrant workers to settle in cities. And analyze the heterogeneity of migrant workers with different characteristics. The research found that: First, the level of education has a significant positive effect on the willingness of migrant workers to stay in the city. Second, in view of the insufficient accessibility and availability of medical security for migrant workers, the coverage of health files needs to be improved. Third, participating in health education activities has a significant positive effect on the willingness of migrant workers to stay. Fourth, the improvement of employment protection, housing and other conditions has a significant positive effect on the willingness of migrant workers to settle. Fifth, education human capital has a more significant positive impact on the willingness of migrant workers to settle in cities with individual characteristics of women, new generations, and eastern and central regions.
