The impact of China’s new Labour Contract Law on socioeconomic outcomes for migrant and urban workers
利用中国城乡移民调查数据，研究劳动合同法对城市和农民工工资、工时、社保和主观幸福感的影响，发现对城市工人效果更大。
This article examines the effect of having a labour contract on a range of employee outcomes (wages, hours worked, social insurance coverage and subjective well-being) for a sample of urban and migrant workers in China using data from the Rural-Urban Migration in China (RUMiC) project. Using different methods, we find that the Labour Contract Law has larger effects for urban workers than for migrant workers on receipt of social benefits, subjective well-being and wages, but not for hours worked.
