Abstract
This study focuses on those who are left-behind parents. In this research, we use the RUMiC (2008) data set that has individual measures of migrants and their parents to empirically investigate the effect of children’s rural-urban migration on the health of the left-behind parents. Based on an endogenous probability model with instrumental variable correction, the main finding is that this research provides empirical evidence that the percentage for health outcomes decrease almost 50 percent if their migrant children do not live with them at all. In other words, under the control of living circumstances, the left-behind parents’ health still suffers due to the absence of their migrate children.
