How to Solve the Poverty Vulnerability of New Industry Workers Under the Influence of Health Factors? --Evidence from China Family Panel Studies Data
New technologies, new economies, and new types of business constantly create new products and new supplies, which directly and indirectly drive a large number of jobs for employment and entrepreneurship. However, it also exposes the problems of unidentifiable labor relations of new industry workers, serious occupational injuries, and low social security coverage, which inevitably lead to health risks. In order to effectively avoid and reduce the health risks that lead to poverty vulnerability of new industry workers, we are based on the 2018 CFPS data and use health risk shock theory, labor-leisure theory and social support theory to analyze the relationship between health risk and the poverty vulnerability of new industry workers. At the same time, we also research impact of the mediating effect of labor supply and the regulating effect of medical insurance. The results show that health risks increase the poverty vulnerability of new industry workers, and are more significant for rural and low-income groups. Health risks increase the poverty vulnerability of new industry workers by reducing labor supply. Medical insurance moderates the first half of the direct path and mediating effect of health risk and poverty vulnerability, and is only significant in uninsured individuals. In so doing, we contribute to understanding how to effectively prevent and reduce the poverty vulnerability of new industry workers. We suggest that (1)multiple entities could work together to reduce the health risks of new industry workers, (2)improving the health of new industry workers and increase labor supply, (3)strengthening publicity and guidance to participate in medical insurance to reduce health risks and property losses caused by adverse selection, (4)the government could increase "inclined protection" for vulnerable groups of new industry workers such as rural areas and low-income groups
