According to news reporting originating from Beijing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “This paper employs data from the 2016 and 2018 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) to study the impact of participation in Urban and Rural Resident Basic Medical Insurance (URRBMI) on children’s educational outcomes by using the logit model, double selection Lasso model, and propensity score matching.”

Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Central University of Finance and Economics: “It is found that participating in URRBMI has no significant effect on children’s Chinese performance, but has a significant negative effect on children’s mathematics performance. The negative effect is more obvious for children who participating in the New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS). The paper also studies the channel effects of participation in URRBMI on children’s educational outcomes trough two different ways.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “It is noticed that both channel effects are not significant, that is, participation in URRBMI neither improves children’s health nor changes household education expenditures.”
