“…A higher score suggests a higher level of SRHS (M = 3.88, SD = 0.97). Additionally, the adoption of subjective self-reported indicators to effectively measure SRHS and SWB has been supported by existing studies and was verified to produce good reliability and validity [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ].…”

During the past decades, the number of rural–urban migrants has dramatically increased in China. Their well-being is important for social development and has attracted the attention of researchers. This paper adopts five waves of repeated cross-sectional datasets within a nine-year span, included in the Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS 2010–2018), to evaluate the impacts and mechanisms of internet adoption on the health status and subjective well-being of rural–urban migrants. Empirical results suggest that there are significant positive correlations between internet adoption and health status as well as subjective well-being. The results of structural equation modeling suggest that the impact of the internet on well-being occurs through increasing, bridging, and bonding social capital for rural–urban migrants. The mediating impact of bonding social capital on subjective well-being is more prominent, while the mediating impact of bridging social capital on health is stronger. Furthermore, we have explored the heterogeneous effects across gender and education. This is an early study which investigates such an important topic in the context of the digital era.

“…On the supply side, trade openness improves the critical skill level of individuals choosing to be entrepreneurs, which leads to an increase in labor allocation efficiency and total output and a rise in individual welfare by rising enterprise productivity, the average skill level, and skill types in the labor market (Dinopoulos and Unel, 2017) [27]. The higher the level of trade openness in an area, the more evident the increase in individuals' sense of happiness (Yi and Sun, 2021) [28]. The most recent studies have also shown that trade openness could increase the labor income share (Meschi and Vivarelli, 2009) [29], and that the relationship between wage income increasing and residents' health is linear (Chokshi, 2018) [30].…”

Currently, the international economy is experiencing profound and intricate transformations, while economic globalization is encountering unprecedented challenges and witnessing a surge in counter-globalization sentiments. Critics express concerns over the potential detrimental effects of trade liberalization on the welfare of low-income groups, particularly in developing countries. China, as the largest developing country, also holds the status of a major trading nation. Using panel data from 285 prefecture-level cities across China during 2000–2019, this study examines how trade openness affects population health to assess the welfare effects of trade openness, providing new theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to further promote economic globalization and improve human health and well-being. The results show that trade openness can significantly promote population health. And, a series of robustness tests show that the above conclusion is still valid. Trade openness has a greater positive impact on the health of the population of the eastern and central regions, the coastal cities, and high-trade-openness cities. An analysis of the mechanism reveal that trade openness mainly promotes population health through channels such as labor employment, wage income, public health investment, and personal health investment. However, trade openness can also lead to environmental pollution, which has a significant negative impact on population health. Additionally, through threshold effects analysis, it becomes evident that the relationship between trade openness and population health is nonlinear. This implies that there are critical thresholds related to the economic development stage, investment in environmental governance, and environmental infrastructure construction. Falling below or exceeding these thresholds may lead to different interval effects on the impact of trade openness on population health.
