Abstract:
China\'s internal migrants suffer from marginalised housing conditions, poor neighbourhood environments and residential segregation, which may have significant implications on health and well-being. Echoing recent calls for interdisciplinary research on migrant health and well-being, this study examines the associations and mechanisms of the impact of the residential environment on the health and well-being of Chinese migrants. We found that most of the relevant studies supported the \"healthy migration effect\", but the phenomenon was only applicable to migrants\' self-reported physical health rather than mental health. The subjective well-being of migrants is lower than that of urban migrants. There is a debate between the effectiveness of residential environmental improvements and the ineffectiveness of residential environmental improvements in terms of the impact of the neighbourhood environment on migrants\' health and well-being. Housing conditions and the neighbourhood\'s physical and social environment can enhance migrants\' health and well-being by strengthening place attachment and social cohesion, building localised social capital and gaining neighbourhood social support. Residential segregation on the neighbourhood scale affects the health outcomes of migrant populations through the mechanism of relative deprivation. Our studies build a vivid and comprehensive picture of research to understand migration, urban life and health and well-being.
摘要:
中国的国内移民遭受边缘化的住房条件,恶劣的邻里环境和住宅隔离,这可能会对健康和福祉产生重大影响。呼应了最近对移民健康和福祉进行跨学科研究的呼吁,这项研究考察了居住环境对中国移民健康和福祉的影响的关联和机制。我们发现大多数相关研究支持“健康迁移效应”,但这种现象只适用于移民自我报告的身体健康而非心理健康。流动人口的主观幸福感低于城市流动人口。就邻里环境对移民健康和福祉的影响而言,住宅环境改善的有效性与住宅环境改善的无效性之间存在争议。住房条件和社区的物质和社会环境可以通过加强地方依恋和社会凝聚力来提高移民的健康和福祉,建立本地化的社会资本并获得邻里社会支持。邻里尺度上的居住隔离通过相对剥夺机制影响流动人口的健康结果。我们的研究建立了一个生动而全面的研究图景,以了解移民,城市生活和健康福祉。
