Internal Migration and Health in China

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the health challenges faced by rural-urban migrants in China, the book examines social strata and networks that influence health service access. It highlights the lack of equal social protection and identifies institutional barriers, such as the household registration system, as key obstacles. Additionally, it emphasizes the crucial role of social networks in facilitating health access and critiques the migrants' limited understanding of health, attributing this to their rural backgrounds rather than personal shortcomings.
