“…Our study contributes to this void by supporting the influence of rural-urban migrant workers' socio-economic status on their decent work. It also enriches the understanding of socio-economic consequences under China's Hukou Registration System , thereby responding to the call of Liao and Zhang (2021) that more research should be conducted to investigate the outcomes that rural-urban migrant workers' socio-economic status may bring about.…”

PurposeThis study aims to examine how Chinese rural-urban migrant workers' socio-economic status was associated with their decent work.Design/methodology/approachGrounded in the psychology of working theory (PWT), this study tested the path from rural-urban migrant workers' socio-economic status to decent work via work volition, with this path moderated by environmental uncertainty and trade union support. 470 rural-urban migrant workers from four manufacturing enterprises were investigated.FindingsResults indicated that rural-urban migrant workers' socio-economic status was positively associated with rural-urban migrant workers' decent work through work volition. In addition, environmental uncertainty weakened the impact of socio-economic status on work volition while trade union support strengthened the relationship between socio-economic status and work volition.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the growing research on the PWT by testing its utility among rural-urban migrant workers in the Chinese context. The study also identifies the crucial effects of environmental uncertainty and trade union support, which are distinctive characters of contemporary China, in the formation process of rural-urban migrant workers' decent work. A detailed explanation of the results and implications is discussed in the end.

“…1 China's hukou system refers to a household registration system required by law to officially identify every citizen as a resident of a certain area. Under this system every citizen is categorized according to the type of hukou (agricultural/non-agricultural) and the place of hukou registration (urban/rural areas) [56,57].…”

Exploring the impacts of perceived neighborhood environment on commuting behavior and travel-related CO2 emissions helps policymakers formulate regional low-carbon transport policies. Most studies have examined the impact of the objective measures of built environment on travel behavior and related CO2 emissions, and few studies have focused on perceived neighborhood environment. This study develops a structural equation model and uses data from a self-administered survey of urban full-time employees in Nanjing, China to examine the direct and indirect effects of perceived neighborhood environment on commuting mode choice and commuting CO2 emissions. The study shows that perceived service facilities has a significant direct effect on commuting mode and a significant indirect effect on commuting CO2 through the mediating effect of commuting mode choice. While socio-demographic variables such as gender have a significant direct impact on commuting mode and commuting CO2 emissions, they have an indirect impact on commuting mode and commuting CO2 emissions through the intermediate variables (such as car ownership, perceived neighborhood environment and commuting distance). The conclusions of this study show that the potential of commuting CO2 emissions reduction in China is enormous, and that policy interventions on commuting would help developing countries such as China achieve the goals of low-carbon transport and sustainable development.

“…The factors related to education and some factors related to employment were the ones that did not turn out to be significant at the 5% level [6]. On the other hand, Liao and Zhang [15] also carried out research in China and used various models, including ordinary least squares, two-stage least squares, probit and bivariate probit models. The level of significance was again 5%.…”

The tenure statuses made by households (renter-occupancy or owner-occupancy) are influenced by a multitude of factors, some of which cannot be directly measured. However, economists are still interested in knowing the relative severity and patterns of influence these factors have on housing tenure status. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of assuming joint dependency between housing tenure and affordability on the model results. The effect of model-mis-specification on severity and relative importance of the explanatory variables was also assessed. Joint bivariate binary regression was applied to multi-year cross-sectional General Household Survey (GHS) data from Statistics South Africa (STATSA). An assumption of a univariate model when modeling both housing affordability and tenure led to model mis-specification, because most of the coefficients between the univariate and bivariate joint models were significantly different. Model mis-specification also led to significant differences in rankings of the levels of influence of the explanatory variables. Bivariate joint modeling with appropriate error-model copulas improved the model results. Older households that were above 49 years were consistently more likely to be owner-occupiers, and the household head age variable for older households was the most influential factor for housing owner-occupancy and affordability.
