Migrant workers have become a major element of the labor force in Chinese cities,makingimportant contributions to the economy while forming a socially disadvantaged group.Existing research on the relationship between the level of nutrition and health and income inChina mainly focuses on farmers living in rural areas.Based on a Mincer equation andusing a survey in Beijing,this paper examines the relationship between migrant workers'nutrition and health levels and their monthly incomes.We find that the nutrition intake andthe body mass index have positive effects on income while duration of illness and dailyworking hours have negative effects.These conclusions imply that the Chinese Governmentshould put more emphasis on improving migrant workers' well-being,including offeringeducational programs on nutrition and health,and enhancing medical insurance and theold-age insurance system.
