“…The regression results also demonstrate that older migrants are more likely to own a house than their younger counterparts. This finding is consistent with that of Colom Andrés and Molés Machí (2017) and Tang et al (2017), who showed a positive relationship between age and homeownership in Spain and China. Accordingly, we argue that old migrants have more advantages in acquiring wealth for a down payment to purchase a house than their younger counterparts.…”

“…This finding is consistent with that of Alba and Logan (1992) and Kauppinen et al (2015), thereby confirming that housing needs also exert a large effect on homeownership. The migrants with permanent settlement intention have more likelihood to own a house, which is consistent with Tang et al (2017), which confirmed that migrants' settlement intention are positively related with the housing attainment of rural migrants' in the urban destinations. The context controls also show that housing price and home-purchase restriction are negative with the homeownership, revealing that high housing price and strict home-purchase restriction will weaken the migrants' housing access and affordability.…”

“…Previous studies focused on the determinants of housing tenure or living conditions of rural migrants. Although these studies have inconsistent conclusions, they have uniformly viewed urban institutional restrictions (Hukou) and other discriminatory treatments as the main factors of the low homeownership rate and poor living conditions of rural migrants in urban destinations (Fang & Zhang, 2016;Hui, 2005;Li et al, 2018;Tang et al, 2017;Tao et al, 2015).…”

Rural–urban migrants in China often experience poor living conditions and are less likely to be homeowners than urban–urban migrants. This study aims to investigate whether the homeownership gap between rural–urban migrants and urban–urban migrants in China vary by income. We explore the homeownership gap between the two migrant groups using the National Migrants Population Dynamic Monitoring Survey in 2014. Our findings show that the homeownership gap between rural–urban migrants and urban–urban migrants vary by income, and this gap is larger for high-income groups than for low-income groups. The estimations also demonstrate that social security insurance may act as the transmission channel, indicating a stratification process.

“…In addition to the institutional and individual factors mentioned above, housing is an important factor influencing the settlement of both internal and international migrants (Xie & Chen, 2018). Many studies on housing tenure of migrants in Chinese cities have suggested that there is positive correlation between housing ownership stronger settlement intention (Huang et al, 2018;Liu & Wang, 2014;Tang & Feng, 2015;Tang, Feng, & Li, 2017). Moreover, rural migrants who live in larger and better-quality housing are more inclined to permanently reside in cities.…”

Based on surveys conducted in Shandong Province, China, this paper examined the interests of rural residents to move to and settle in cities, as well as the factors that motivate or discourage their potential settlement changes. Results of the binary logistic regression analysis showed that villagers' urban settlement preference was related to sociodemographic factors such as gender, age, and occupation. Overall, the separation of the “three rights” (collective ownership, land contract right, and land use right) associated with rural land has strengthened the urban settlement preference of rural residents. Nevertheless, we did not find significant association between land transfer and the preference for urban settlement. For villagers who expressed interest in urban settlement, better job opportunities, education opportunities, and higher income are the leading “pull” factors that would attract them to cities. The attachment to rural life, high living costs, and high housing prices in cities were the top concerns for villagers who did not want to move. The study also found that villagers' desired urban destinations changed with the changing land parameters, indicating that the outcomes of China's rural land reforms may not be aligned well with the policy goals laid in the country's urbanization and rural development plans.

“…Thus, the homeownership may determinate the access to neighborhoods with better physical and social conditions [24][25], and then influence the utilization of local public health services. This is especially the case in China, rural migrants often experience poor living conditions and are less likely to be homeowner [26][27], whereas homeownership not only acted as the pre-condition for their attainment of membership in major cites, but also was the first step to obtain the local welfare benefits, such as education, health care, welfare provision and so on [28][29].…”

Background: Rural-urban migrants often suffer overrepresented health risks but have less access to public health services，while the homeownership status in China may play a vital role in the attainment of local welfare. However, the effect of homeownership on the public health services utilization is still understood. This study aims to address the causal effect of homeownership on the utilization of local public health services among rural migrants in China. Three issues are addressed to discuss: Whether the homeownership produces a significant effect on the utilization of local public health services or not? Are there any interaction effect between homeownership and location of household/ healthcare center? Does the homeownership effect vary by employment status, migration duration and migration patterns?Methods: The dataset from the 2017 National Migrants Population Dynamic Monitoring Survey (NMPDMS-2017) is applied to explore the direct effect of homeownership on the utilization of local public health services. The Logit regression is conducted to discuss the associations, while the IV estimation developed by Lewbel (2012) is employed to correct the endogeneity of homeownership. Additionally, the Logit regressions are also performed to explore the interaction effect and heterogeneous effect.Results: The Logit estimations reveal that the homeownership is positive with the establishment of health record (OR=1.1926; 95% CI=1.154,1.2325) and the attendance of health education (OR=1.1883; 95% CI=1.1506,1.2271) ,while IV estimations also confirms that the homeownership has a positive effect on the establishment of health record (Coefficient=0.0222; 95% CI=0.0121, 0.0323) and the health education access (Coefficient=0.0241; 95% CI=0.0139, 0.0343).The interaction term of homeownership and household location (Coefficient=1.4141; 95% CI= 1.2453, 1.6057) as well as the interaction between homeownership and healthcare center location (Coefficient=1.1476; 95% CI= 1.0491, 1.2554) are related with the increased establishment of health record establishment, whereas only the interaction of homeownership and household location shows significant correlations in the health education model(Coefficient=1.2186; 95% CI=1.0734, 1.3794).Conclusion: The homeownership produces a positive effect on the utilization of local public health services among rural migrants in China. Moreover, the homeownership may play a greater role along with the geographical accessibility.
