The Unequal Loop: Socioeconomic Status and the Dynamic Bidirectional Relationship between Physical and Mental Health
This study draws on longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (2008-2020) to investigate the dynamic bidirectional relationship between physical and mental health, focusing on socioeconomic disparities. Dynamic panel models reveal significant bidirectional associations between measures of physical and mental health for both positive and negative health indicators, but the magnitude varies by education and wealth. Specifically, the in…
Occupational status, working conditions, and health: Evidence from the 2012 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey
This study investigates the relationship between occupational status and health inequality in the working population by analyzing data from the 2012 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey. The results show that individual health varies substantially by occupational status, including self-assessed health, work-related injury, and self-reported occupational disease. Low occupational status is associated with poorer self-assessed health and increased inc…
The educational differential in fertility in transitional China: Temporal and regional variation
Education expansion has contributed significantly to fertility decline during the worldwide fertility transition. Yet, it is less clear whether the educational gradient in fertility remains stable and persists in the post-transition era. In light of the ra
Regional segregation or industrial monopoly? Dual labor market segmentation and income inequality in China
Using data from the 2010 China Family Panel Study and county- and industry-level statistics, we estimate cross-classified multilevel models to examine the determinants of the income gap among Chinese workers. Results show that both regional and industrial differences are important sources of income inequality in China. Taken together, they account for about one fifth of the total variation in individual income. Among them, differences in county e…
Does Childhood Nutrition Predict Health Outcomes During Adulthood? Evidence From a Population-Based Study in China
Using data collected from the 2008 survey of Internal Migration and Health in China, this study examines the impact of late childhood nutrition intakes on a wide range of indicators of adult health. The results show that respondents who consume rich nutrients (meat, fish, milk, etc.) less frequently during late childhood have worse health outcomes when they grow up. They are more likely to rate their health as ‘fair/poor’, report a greater number…
Internal migration and health stratification in urban China
This study examines health stratification in contemporary urban China in light of rapid internal migration and evolving socio-institutional arrangements in the society. Much of this has been linked to the hukou system or household registration system which has created a stratification system based on place of origin (rural or urban) and occupation (agricultural or non-agricultural). The research question was probed using a nationally representati…
Health Selection Effects in China's Internal Migration
Drawing data from the 2008 survey of Internal Migration and Health in China, we compare various health indicators among current rural-to-urban migrants, rural residents who never migrated, return migrants, and urban citizens. Two health-selective mechanisms, the healthy migrant hypothesis and the salmon bias hypothesis, are empirically tested. Results provide empirical support to both these hypotheses. After controlling for individual's age, sex,…
The impact of income inequality on self-rated general health: Evidence from a cross-national study
New Approaches to Demographic Data Collection
As population scientists have expanded the range of topics they study, increasingly considering the interrelationship between population phenomena and social, economic, and health conditions, they have expanded the kinds of data collected and have brought to bear new data collection techniques and procedures, often borrowed from other fields. These new approaches to demographic data collection are the concern of this essay. We consider three main…
Prenatal Sex-Selective Abortion and High Sex Ratio at Birth in the Rural Henan Province
Based on data from a snowball sampling survey conducted in rural Henan in 2001, we analyze the prevalence, patterns, and risk factors of prenatal sex selection and estimate its impact on sex ratio at birth. Our results indicate that prenatal sex selection is widely known and practiced in rural Henan; ex ante fetal sex and family sibset composition are the dominant predictors of abortion, regardless of maternal heterogeneity; and sex-selective abo…
