With rapid urbanization and industry development, China has witnessed substantial land acquisition. Using the rural household survey data, this paper examines the impact of land expropriation on land-lost farmers' self-reported health with the ordered probit model and investigates the possible mechanisms. The results show that the land expropriation puts higher health risks over those land-lost farmers and the health status of land-lost farmers is significantly worse than that of those with land. Land expropriation has a negative impact on the land-lost farmer's health through income effects and psychological effects. The health status of land-lost farmers can be enhanced through amending current land requisition policies, increasing the amount of compensation, improving the earning capacity of land-lost farmers and strengthening mental health education.
随着城市化和工业化的快速发展,中国经历了大规模的土地征用。本文利用农村住户调查数据,采用有序概率模型检验了土地征用对失地农民自报健康的影响,并探讨了可能的作用机制。结果表明,土地征用给失地农民带来了更高的健康风险,失地农民的健康状况明显劣于有地农民。土地征用通过收入效应和心理效应对失地农民的健康产生负面影响。通过修改现行的土地征用政策、增加补偿金额、提高失地农民的收入能力和加强心理健康教育,可以改善失地农民的健康状况。
