“…The greatest benefit of transferring one’s hukou is access to citizenship rights, including local-urban welfare rights, economic opportunity, and social status [ 21 ]. Previous research has demonstrated that hukou converters in urban areas have a clear and significant advantage in healthcare access than their counterparts who have not converted their hukou type [ 22 ].…”

Objective This study investigates the relationship between hukou conversion and the psychological integration of rural older migrants, exploring the mediating role of accessibility to health resources. Methods The 3,963 valid samples of rural older migrants included in the study were sourced from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS). The study established a multiple linear regression model for estimation and utilized inverse probability-weighted regression adjustment (IPWRA) method to correct for the selection bias of hukou conversion. Results Compared to older migrants with rural hukou, merit-based (β = 0.384, 95% CI: 0.265 to 0.504), family-based (β = 0.371, 95% CI: 0.178 to 0.565) and policy-based (β = 0.306, 95% CI: 0.124 to 0.487) converters have significantly higher psychological integration. These findings remain robust even after addressing the potential issue of endogenous selection bias using the IPWRA method. Bootstrap mediating effect tests indicate that hukou conversion can indirectly affect psychological integration through the mediator role of health resources accessibility. Conclusion Accessibility of health resources mediates the association between hukou conversion and psychological integration. Policymakers should enhance the implementation of hukou conversion, strengthen the health resource guarantee system, and achieve a deeper psychological integration among rural older migrants.

“…Rural migrants are significantly more deterred by hukou restrictions relative to urban residents [28,29]. Several scholars believed the main factor affecting migrant workers' intentions of switching their rural hukou was the trade-offs of the social welfare and land interest affiliated with urban and rural hukou [30,31].…”

The Chinese urban–rural binary health insurance structure has contributed to a significant urban–rural segmentation and regional fragmentation, which will affect labor mobilization and urbanization. The purpose of this research is to study whether and how urban–rural binary health insurance impacts the intentions of migrant workers to switch between rural and urban hukou. Pooled data were drawn from China Migrants Dynamic Survey, collected by the National Health Commission of China. The study applied the instrument variable model due to the existence of the endogeneity; and the IVprobit model to conduct the empirical analysis. Our findings are as follows: (1) the urban–rural binary health insurance affects migrant workers’ intentions to switch to urban hukou significantly. (2) The negative impact of originally rural health insurance on migrant workers’ intention of switching to urban hukou is relatively large for low-education-level migrant workers. (3) Compared with new generation of migrant workers, old migrant workers have higher health insurance dependency levels. Finally, our research suggested several policy implications, such as accelerating the establishment of a unified urban–rural health insurance system, increasing the urban health insurance participation rate of migrant workers in their working cities, and including migrant workers in the scope of equal access to urban public services, etc. All the policy suggestions are essential in order to accelerate the citizenization of migrant workers, improve the quality of urbanization, and promote the construction of a unified national labor market.
