Abstract: China has seen an unprecedented increase in rural-to-urban migrants in the last three decades, and the extension of welfare programmes to these migrants has been a public concern in urban society. The wellbeing of rural-to-urban migrants is closely associated with their access to various welfare programmes. Although pilot reforms on social insurance extension, which often require co-contribution from both employers and employees, have been implemented in several cities, the participation rate remains low.

“…The results further confirm the policy effect of the HPF. On the one hand, social relationships and the sense of identity have a positive effect on migrants' settlement decision (Huang & Guo, 2017), while enrollment in the HPF program means that migrants have formal and stable employment, which will enhance their sense of belonging to and social integration in the host city. On the other hand, although the HPF participation rate of migrants is rather low, the HPF still strongly supports their housing purchase desire, further inducing their permanent settlement intention.…”

Some scholars use the theory of social exclusion to argue that the main obstacles affecting integration are the current household registration system, differences between urban and rural societies, social security and other institutional factors (Huang and Guo, 2016). Others argue that migrant workers face a high degree of social exclusion in the labour market as well as identity-based exclusion and the separation of social networks (Zhan, 2011).…”

“…Previously under the planned socialist economy, urban experiences were dominated by the "iron rice bowl" model of secure employment and housing, sponsored by the state through work units and reserved exclusively for urban hukou holders. The model has now been replaced by a social security system more befitting the market economy-one that is based on a combination of individual payment, employer contribution, and state provision [5]. Partially de-linked from hukou and residency status, urban social insurance has become more accessible to rural migrants.…”
