Objective
The economic boom in P.R. China provoked a huge demand in manpower, mostly in the East-Southern part of the country. In 2000, the Government of China reformed the household registration system to encourage labour mobility, resulting in large-scale migration of the rural population. The number of internal migrants is currently estimated at 140 million. Migrants are younger than resident populations and lower educated. Former studies demonstrated poorer health indicators in migrants with higher rates of induced abortion, lower rates of contraceptive use, and a higher maternal mortality rate. In some cities, the maternal mortality rates among migrants are higher than in the rural areas of China.
The proposed research will study determinants of access of young migrants to care and to health information. Comparisons with resident young workers will permit to assess risks attributed to the migrant status. The research will further focus on how the public and private services, including existing health facilities in larger factories, address the health needs of young migrant workers. In a second step, strategies to improve health service delivery and information to the migrants will be developed through interactive discussions between beneficiaries and public or private stakeholders, using the workplace as an entry point. Those strategies will take into account specific characteristics of the labour migrants such as working schedule, gender, ethnic and equity issues. The third step consists in implementation of these strategies through local interventions aiming at improve the access of young migrants to reproductive health services.
Those projects will mobilise the working unit, the health services and the target population. The final step consists in the evaluation of the interventions, the discussion of results with the different actors, the definition of recommendations to optimise service delivery to the target group and the dissemination of results.
