Internal migrants constitute a significant generality in the socioeconomic development of developing countries. With the frequent occurrence of major public health emergencies, obstacles to labor supply due to health issues among internal migrants not only affect their livelihood stability but also urban economic resilience. Moreover, the design of basic public health service systems tends to favor local residents over internal migrants, further exacerbating the health and employment risks of internal migrants. As a result, urban economic resilience faces significant challenges.
The objective of this study was to deconstruct economic resilience into economic resistance and recovery abilities, investigate the net effect and its heterogeneity of internal migrants' health on economic resilience in China's Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration (CYRD), and the mediating effect from labor participation rate and labor time supply, as well as the moderating effect of basic public health services.
Based on the China Migrants Dynamic Survey data (CMDS), the study empirically estimated the effects of internal migrants' health on economic resilience in CYRD through microeconometric analysis methods, mediating and moderating effect model.
Our findings indicate that internal migrants' health has a positive effect on economic resilience in CYRD. For each unit increase in migrants' health, it will drive up the average economic resistance ability by 0.0186 and the average recovery ability by 0.0039. Secondly, the net effects of migrants' health on economic resilience show significant structural differences, industry and city heterogeneity. The effect of migrants' health on economic resistance ability is significantly higher than that on economic recovery ability; The effect of migrants' health on economic resilience of the secondary industry is higher than that of the tertiary industry; The cities with high economic resistance and recovery abilities have more prominent positive effect from migrants' health. Thirdly, migrants' health not only has a direct effect on the economic resistance and recovery abilities, but also has a mediating effect on which through labor participation rate and labor time supply.
Enhancing the accessibility and quality of basic public health services is beneficial for enhancing the positive effects of internal migrants' health on economic resilience.
在发展中国家的社会经济发展中，内部移民构成了一个重要的整体。随着重大公共卫生突发事件的频繁发生，由于健康问题导致的劳动力供应障碍不仅影响了内部移民的生计稳定，也影响了城市经济的恢复能力。此外，基本公共卫生服务体系的设计往往偏向于本地居民而不是内部移民，这进一步加剧了内部移民的健康和就业风险。因此，城市经济的恢复能力面临着重大挑战。
本研究旨在将经济恢复能力解构为经济抵抗力和恢复能力，考察内部移民健康对中国长江三角洲城市群（CYRD）经济恢复能力的净效应及其异质性，以及劳动力参与率和劳动力时间供给的中介效应，以及基本公共卫生服务的调节效应。
基于中国流动人口动态监测调查（CMDS）数据，本研究通过微观计量分析方法、中介和调节效应模型，实证估计了内部移民健康对 CYRD 经济恢复能力的影响。
研究结果表明，内部移民的健康状况对 CYRD 的经济恢复能力具有积极影响。移民健康状况每增加一个单位，将平均经济抵抗力提高 0.0186，平均恢复能力提高 0.0039。其次，移民健康对经济恢复能力的净效应表现出显著的结构差异、产业和城市异质性。移民健康对经济抵抗力的影响明显高于对经济恢复能力的影响；移民健康对第二产业的经济恢复能力的影响高于第三产业；经济抵抗力和恢复能力较高的城市，移民健康的积极影响更为显著。第三，移民健康不仅对经济抵抗力和恢复能力有直接影响，而且通过劳动力参与率和劳动力时间供给对其有中介效应。
提高基本公共卫生服务的可及性和质量，有利于增强内部移民健康对经济恢复能力的积极影响。
