“…In addition, social capital also plays an important role in determining settlement intentions. Greater social organizational participation and connections with urban locals positively impact urban settlement intentions [ 9 , 10 ]. Furthermore, research has highlighted the important impact of basic medical insurance, or one of other types of social insurance, on the urban settlement intentions of migrants [ 11 , 12 ].…”

An important task in the urbanization process of developing countries is to promote and support migrants’ settlement in cities. Based on the China Migrants Dynamic Survey of 2018, this paper analyzes how basic public health services (BPHSs) impact migrants’ settlement intentions. This study shows that establishing health records and access to health-related knowledge significantly and positively impact migrants’ intentions to settle permanently in inflow areas by increasing their health status and degree of social integration. Yet, this paper discusses how the trends are heterogeneous, finding that BPHSs more significantly impact the settlement intentions of female, less-educated and rural migrants. The findings of this paper provide new factual evidence that may support government policymaking to further improve migrants’ utilization of medical and health resources and their intention to settle down.

Background During the 14th Five-Year Plan, China aims to transform rural migrants into urban citizens and ensure equal access to public services to enhance new urbanization. Understanding migrant workers' settlement intentions is crucial for their citizenship development. Based on the fundamental role of the right to life and health, equalization of basic public health services is essential. Therefore, understanding the potential impact of public health services equalization on the settlement intention of migrant workers is crucial in China’s new urbanization. Method In this study, we utilized data from the 2017 wave of China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS) and employed the Propensity Score Matching method to investigate the impact of basic public health service equalization policy on the settlement intention of migrant workers. Additionally, we utilized the Mediation Effect Model to uncover the impact mechanism. Results Our findings indicate that basic public health service equalization policy has a significant positive effect on increasing the settlement intention of migrant workers, with an even greater effect observed among the low-income group, the cross-provincial subsample, and the new generation subsample. The results of the Mediation Effect Model suggest that Basic public health service equalization policy can bolster the subjective integration willingness and subjective identity of migrant workers, thereby enhancing their settlement intention. Conclusion Based on the results, we propose to strengthen the promotion of the basic public health service equalization policy and expand the coverage of health records to further increase the settlement intention of migrant workers.
