Effects of migrant workers’ health capital on their returning home intentions: evidence from China
Migrant workers' HC is an important factor affecting the formation of their RHI, in which EC plays an intermediary role. This study extends and deepens our understanding of HC and helps to understand the role of health in shaping RHI from the perspective of capital, and the finding confirms the validity of the "salmon bias effect" hypothesis in the Chinese context. These findings can also help local government pay more attention to returning migrant workers' HC.
