Government, Enterprise And Society Linkage:Research Of Network Governance On Female Migrant Workers’ Mental Health

With the advancing of industrialization and urbanization, a large number of rural women laborers have been transferring to the city, to be the main force in the city construction. Because of the double disadvantage in sex and status, both the living condition and the development of female migrant workers allow of no optimist. What’s more, the condition of their mental health could not seem grimmer. The serious mental health problems not only affects their personal health, destroy the ability of their normal life, and also restrict the family happiness and even threaten the stability and harmony in urban and rural areas. Under the reform circumstances of current new urbanization and citizenization, it is even more important whether their mental health problems can be solved and their mental health can be improved.The mental health of migrant women is affected by several factors. As the restriction of their own capability and quality and distressing state, they can hardly rely on themselves to solve their mental problems. It is a matter of public governance to pay attention to the mental condition of this group and improve their mental health. At present, measures have been taken to govern the problem by both the government, the enterprise and civil society, but the governing situation that they each does things in their own way severely weakened the governing effect. Based on this, the thesis adopts network governance theory and make a thorough inquiry into the mental problems of female migrant workers and the present governing situation from a perspective of urban-rural integration and social gender, build a network governance blueprint of mental health by the government, the enterprise and society working together at macro level., also analyzes the practical experience and put forward an action pattern at the micro level on improving the mental health of female migrant workers, thus making an innovative attempt to apply network governance theory to the governing practice of female migrant workers’mental health.The logical frame of the thesis can be divided into the following five chapters:Part one is an introduction which mainly expounds the background and significance of the thesis. It has a run-through of network governance and female migrant workers’ mental health at home and abroad, defines the core concepts, proposes the research methods, ideas, frame and innovations of this thesis.Part two is the analyses of theoretical tools. It generally introduces the reasons, theoretical meaning and governance mechanism of the popularity of network governance theory, lays the theoretical foundation for the study on the network governance of female migrant workers’mental health.Part three is empirical analysis including the mental health problem and the present governing situation of female migrant workers. By a survey conducted on female migrant workers in twenty-two provinces and cities, then analyzes the condition of their mental health and explore the being islanded problems in the governance of female migrant workers’mental health.Part four is macro-level policy analysis and micro-level pattern exploration. Founded on theoretical frame and empirical analysis, the part builds a polynary network governance blueprint of mental health from the strategic, structural and operational level. Then take the example of interventional action on the mental health of female migrant workers in H factory, it raises the micro governance pattern from operational level, to provide reference to the social mental caring actions for government, enterprise and the society.The last part is research conclusion.The innovation of the thesis basically reflects in the following aspects:The first is innovation of perspective. The former study on female migrant workers’ mental health lay largely on the analyses of the problem aspects, rarely combine it with public management theory. This thesis follow the perspective of network governance as the major theory and urban-rural integration and social gender theory as the minor, make a further analysis of their mental health problems, the present governing situation and the counterplan.The second is the innovation of method. The thesis applies an integrated methods which embodies a combination of canonical parse and empirical research, qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. It adopts literature analysis, survey method, case study, comparative study and a variety of methods. It not only lays emphasis on theoretical analysis, but also supported by detailed data and substantial cases in the interview. What’s more, not only does it attach importance to macro-policy analysis, but also provides guidance of operable action strategy.The third is the innovation of viewpoints. This article is based on the summary and reference to the results of previous studies, through theoretical research and empirical investigation, attribute the mental health of female migrant workers to the lack of integration of urban and rural development, the lack of the conception of gender and governance difficulties. Finally, the crux of the problem is due to the lack of collegiality and analyze the current governance bottleneck in the frame of governance islanded.The fourth is the innovation of countermeasures. In the countermeasure discussion, the thesis employs network governance theory as theoretical tool, urban-rural integration and social gender theory for policy guidance, to build a macro governance blueprint for the government, the enterprise, and social interaction for the mental health of female migrant workers,, then with reference to the case of the intervention model in H Factory, proposes the micro action mode of female migrant workers’ mental health governance, has a certain degree of innovation.
