Abstract

Rural–urban migration is a defining feature of socio-economic change in contemporary China. It is estimated that internal migrants in China account for 20% of its population of 1.39 billion, providing manpower to the expanding urban industries. Yet internal migrants have long faced barriers to accessing health and other social services in urban destinations, and the migration process may expose them to novel health risks and inequities. Based on the analysis of policy documents and associated material, this article reviews the historical development of health policy in China in relation to internal migrants, identifying elements of continuity and change in the policy agenda and the ways in which migrants have been framed in policy formulations. Against this background, remaining gaps in the current policy framework and implementation challenges are discussed.

中国和内部移民卫生政策的演变:连续性、变化和当前实施的挑战

农村向城市迁移是当代中国社会经济变化的一个显著特征。据估计，国内流动人口占中国13.9亿人口的20%，为不断扩大的城市工业提供了人力。然而，国内移徙者在获得城市目的地的保健和其他社会服务方面长期面临障碍，移徙过程可能使他们面临新的健康风险和不公平现象。在对政策文件和相关材料进行分析的基础上，本文回顾了中国与国内移民相关的卫生政策的历史发展，确定了政策议程中连续性和变化的因素，以及政策制定中移民的框架。在此背景下，讨论了当前政策框架中存在的差距和实施挑战。
