“…Rural immigrants have always been vulnerable regarding old-age insurance. Work discrimination due to household registration differences affects the employment of rural immigrants [59][60][61][62]. The immigrants with an agricultural registration in cities are often confined to lower-end industries and lack formal employment relationships.…”

Understanding migrants’ status and socio-economic outcomes can help develop immigrant societies. Household registration in China plays a vital role in migrants’ status to provide an excellent research environment. Based on panel data from the Institute of Social Science Survey (CFPS) from 2012 to 2020, this paper investigates the impact of various old-age insurance schemes on urban residents’ consumption with the difference in household registration. The result shows that insurance increases consumption more in a higher benefit scheme due to a lower level of precautionary saving motivation. Household registration reduces consumption by causing disparities in insurance coverage. Even after matching propensity scores to adjust for baseline differences between agricultural and non-agricultural households in cities, residents with agricultural registration participate more in a lower benefit scheme of old-age insurance. Furthermore, agricultural households consume less than non-agricultural households despite receiving the same old-age insurance scheme, owing to a greater incentive for precautionary savings. This finding sheds light on the relationship between economic behavior and social conditions with significant policy implications for the economic assimilation of migrants.

“…Alternatively, instead, among the several factors that shape social inequality, hukou became, and was, one of the most critical factors. Additionally, it has been mentioned in many texts that the hukou policy created a 'barrier' and that it created a barrier, and the segregation it brought was the source of social inequality today [3].…”

This paper investigates the development of the hukou policy in China. Moreover, the cascading effects on children become one of the crucial factors of identity. In it, children will be divided into mobile and local groups, and the disparities between the groups will be discussed and analyzed. The article is conducted through both quantitative and qualitative analysis. It analyses the impact of specific policies and regulations on children's education, mental health, and social discrimination. The analysis is also combined with a section of data, explicitly presenting the differences in data on mental health. Through comparative and critical thinking, it was found that the hukou policy's major negative impact on students is social discrimination. The role of the hukou policy is to exacerbate the differences between the different hukou groups and to create a hierarchy of differences, thus increasing inequality. It leads to the conclusion that although there is some validity to the hukou policy, the impact of the social inequalities it creates is profound.

“…With the increasingly serious air pollution problem and the continuous improvement of the public’s requirements for public environmental services, air quality has an increasing impact on the intentions of rural migrants to stay [ 34 , 35 ]. In addition, aspects such as gender, education level, family size, income level, and occupation also influence rural migrants’ migration decisions [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. In recent years, with the continuous release of rural surplus labor, more and more attention has been paid to the urbanization of rural migrants flowing into cities, and public services have played an important role.…”

The accessibility of urban public health services is not only relevant to the health status of rural migrants but also plays an increasingly important role in their migration decisions. Most existing studies have focused on the effects of the level of public health service provision and parity on rural migrants’ migration behavior, ignoring the role of public health service accessibility. This paper systematically examines the overall impact, heterogeneous impact and mechanism of action of public health service accessibility on rural migrants’ intentions to migrate permanently based on data from the 2017 China Mobile Population Dynamics Monitoring Survey using probit, IVprobit, eprobit, omitted variable test model and KHB mediating effect model. It was found that: (1) public health service accessibility significantly increased rural migrants’ intentions to migrate permanently, and the results remained robust after using instrumental variables to mitigate endogeneity problems and omitted variable tests. (2) Heterogeneity analysis shows that public health service accessibility has a greater effect on enhancing the intentions to migrate permanently among females and rural migrants born in 1980 and later. (3) Further mechanism testing revealed that public health service accessibility could indirectly increase rural migrants’ intentions to migrate permanently by improving health habits, health status, identity, and social integration, with identity playing a greater indirect effect. The findings of this paper not only provide empirical evidence for the existence of Tiebout’s “voting with your feet” mechanism in China but also contribute to the scientific understanding of the role of equalization of public health services in the process of population migration.
