“…As a result, the opportunity to attend high school is biased toward urban residents. Moreover, schools in rural areas lack a physical exercise curriculum, sports facilities, and health concepts, leading to low health literacy among rural students from an early age ( 43 , 44 ). Although access to higher education has increased with the college enrollment expansion policy, there is still uneven distribution of higher education due to the impact of family background and magnified regional differences ( 45 ).…”

IntroductionThe Healthy China Initiative emphasizes family health. Education is an upstream determinant of health, which can both achieve upward mobility and cause class solidification.MethodsUsing nationwide large-scale data collected in 2021, the present study explored the relationship between education and family health in the urban-rural dual society via Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition and propensity score matching.ResultsOur data revealed disparities in family health, educational attainment, household income, healthcare coverage, and job type between urban and rural China. An inverted U-shaped relationship existed between increasing years of education and family health. The upper limit was 17.1 years for urban residents and 13.7 years for rural residents, with limited health benefits from higher education obtained by rural residents. Mediated by work-family conflict, highly-educated people received gradually diminishing health returns. The results of the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition showed that 25.8% of the urban-rural gap in family health could be explained by the disparity in education. Urban residents could translate cultural capital and economic capital into health capital to a greater extent. After propensity score matching, a robust, inverted U-shaped relationship was found between education and family health. The inverted U-shaped relationship was found to replace family health with self-rated health and quality of life.DiscussionFamily-centered public health and education programs, policies, and goals should be developed to break urban-rural dual structure barriers and advance social equity in China.

“…Work experiences during schooling should also be regarded as part of students' overall professional development since previous studies underestimate their impact on earnings [54]. Moreover, internal heterogeneity exists among migrant workers, whereby the household registration type and educational background affect their return rate on work experiences [55]. Workers with higher levels of education and skills possess a greater amount of human capital.…”

Numerous workers have adopted the flexible working approach due to its accommodating and job-sharing features, which play a key role in easing the employment pressure and maintaining socio-economic sustainability in China. This paper will study the impact of work experience on the income of flexible workers and the characteristics of impact mechanism. We use micro survey data from CFPS2020 to analyze flexible workers in China. This study found that, firstly, while the feature of flexible employment may be very different from formal employment, its relationship with work experience and income is as significantly correlated as it is for formal employment with a rise–fall, inverted U-shaped trend, but the return on work experience is lower than the employment level in the labor market. Secondly, there is an income gap between genders, especially in physical labor-intensive forms of flexible work; women can gradually narrow the gender income gap through continuous learning. Thirdly, the return on work experience in the older age group is lower than that in the youth group of flexible workers, and this may be due to the dynamic evolution of the elimination of existing work experience and the accumulation of new work experience. Fourthly, in contrast with the findings of the labor market as a whole, the trend of work experience return in flexible employment is reversed; the low-income group’s return rate of work experience is higher than that of the high-income group, and it can be seen that flexible employment is conducive to the development of new and young workers.
