Abstract

Abstract

Residents' health is extremely significant for their labor force participation.Domestic relevant research only adopts the self-reported General Health Status (GHS) as the measure of health level, but health is multi-dimensional;therefore self-reported health may not be able to completely measure the effect of Chinese residents' true health on labor force participation.To overcome this problem, this paper utilizes multi-dimensional health indicators, such as GHS, short-term disease, disease history, Body Mass Index (BMI) and nutrition intake.Our result reveals that self-reported GHS is indeed not an accurate measure of true health level to measure the effect of Chinese residents' true health on labor force participation, and different health indicators including self-reported GHS have relatively independent health information concerning its effect on labor force participation.
