This paper employs a simple theoretical model of labor allocation within rural households given existing land arrangements in an attempt to explain why Chinese do not fully participate migration. It first explores the mechanisms by which individual household and community characteristics affect migration decision. Empirical results are then presented substantiate derived hypotheses. The further question whether decision is permanent analyzing responses consumption income from (EXCERPT)
Abstract Blood biomarkers provide critical information about the health of older populations, especially in large developing countries where self-reports are often inaccurate due to lack access care. However, it is very difficult collect blood samples representative population surveys such countries. The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), a nationally study middle-aged Chinese, represents one first efforts include survey China. In 2015 wave CHARLS, 13,013 respondents...

Using recent household survey data from rural China, this article investigates determinants of labor migration, paying special attention to the role migrant networks. Migrant networks are measured by number early migrants village, comprised experienced who continue their migratory activities and return migrants.

In this paper, we model gender differences in cognitive ability China using a new sample of middle-aged and older Chinese respondents. Modeled after the American Health Retirement Study (HRS), CHARLS Pilot survey respondents are 45 years two quite distinct provinces-Zhejiang, high-growth industrialized province on East Coast, Gansu, largely agricultural poor West-in sense old China. Our cognition measures proxy for different dimensions adult cognition-episodic memory intact mental status. On...

Mainly responsible for this diverging trend were rapid increases returns both observed and unobserved skills, which accentuated disadvantage associated with women's lower skill levels. skills such as education narrowed study period, but did not close, there is evidence that widened considerably.

Declining fertility in China has raised concerns about elderly support, especially when public support is inadequate. Using rich information from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) baseline survey, we describe patterns of current living arrangements Chinese investigate their determinants correlation with intergenerational transfers. We find that roughly 41% aged 60 over live an adult child; a male child being strongly preferred. However another...

The purpose this study was to examine extent which low normalized grip (NGS) serves biomarker both cardiometabolic disease physical disability in U.S. Chinese adults. Middle aged older adults from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2012 2013–2014 combined surveys (n = 4,544), 2011 wave China Retirement Longitudinal Study 6,030) were included....

Background: Air pollution disparities by socioeconomic status (SES) are well documented for the United States, with most literature indicating an inverse relationship (i.e., higher concentrations lower-SES populations). Few studies exist China, a country accounting 26% of global premature deaths from ambient air pollution. Objective: Our objective was to test between exposures and SES in China. Methods: We combined estimated year 2015 annual-average levels nitrogen dioxide (NO2) fine...
