Research On The Effect Of Housing Status On The Happiness Of Migrant Population

The twelfth topic of Volume III of "Xi Jinping’s Talk on State Administration" pointed out: "Let the people have more sense of gain,happiness,and security." However,some studies have shown that our country is facing the development dilemma of "happiness stagnation".With the development of urbanization,population mobility has promoted economic and social development,but the overall happiness of the migrant population is not high.In the current situation of rising housing prices,many migrants "look out and sigh".This phenomenon is considered to be one of the reasons that affect the level of happiness.However,there is little micro discussion in the existing literature.Therefore,based on a micro perspective,this article explores the effects of housing status on the well-being of the migrant population,reveals its mechanism,and further enriches the relevant theories of well-being,with a view to making policy recommendations for improving the well-being of the people.Based on the literature on the well-being of the migrant population,housing and well-being,this paper combs the theoretical mechanism of the impact of housing status on the well-being of the migrant population.Then,from multiple dimensions such as time and space,analyze the housing status and well-being of the migrant population in my country.Then,from the individual micro perspective,based on the China Comprehensive Social Survey CGSS(2015)data,using Ordered probit,PSM and other methods to empirically examine the impact of housing status on the happiness of migrants,reveal the impact of housing status on the two levels of urban identity and public service satisfaction.The mechanism of the well-being of the migrant population distinguishes the heterogeneity of the effects from the levels of gender,age,household registration,income and region,and then proposes relevant policy recommendations.The study found:(1)The current situation analysis shows that there are obvious inter-provincial differences in the housing status and well-being of the migrant population.(2)The empirical analysis shows that,compared with renting a house,self-owned housing and borrowed housing can significantly improve the subjective well-being of the migrant population.Among them,the effect of self-owned housing on the well-being of the migrant population is higher than that of borrowed housing.(3)The test of the mechanism of action shows that urban identity and public service satisfaction are the intermediary variables that affect the well-being of the migrant population by housing status,that is,self-owned housing can significantly enhance the urban identity of the migrant population,and the improvement of urban identity has promoted the improvement of the happiness of the migrant population.;self-owned housing can significantly improve the public service satisfaction of the migrant population,and the public service satisfaction has promoted the improvement of the happiness of the migrant population.(4)According to gender,age,household registration,income,region and other aspects of the group found that housing status on the migrant population happiness has significant heterogeneity.Therefore,adhering to the orientation of "housing without speculation" and deepening the promotion of housing equity,promoting the reform of "sharing the right to rent and sell" and promoting the development of the rental market,breaking the ice of "distribution according to housing" reform and promoting the equalization of public services will help to improve the happiness level of the migrant population and enhance the people’s sense of acquisition and happiness.
