Core Viewpoint - The application of industrial robots is significantly impacting the health of low-skilled migrant workers in China, necessitating a deeper understanding of the associated social costs and health implications [1][4][11]. Group 1: Industrial Robots and Labor Health - The 2023 Central Economic Work Conference emphasizes the importance of safety production responsibility, encouraging companies to create a better working environment for laborers [1]. - Industrial robots are primarily developed to replace laborers in physically demanding and hazardous tasks, which is particularly relevant for low-skilled migrant workers in China [1][5]. - The application of industrial robots is identified as a crucial factor affecting the health of low-skilled migrant workers, with various channels through which this impact occurs [5][9]. Group 2: Research Findings and Methodology - The study utilizes CFPS data and regional data, employing a dual fixed-effect model to identify the short-term impacts of industrial robot applications on the health of low-skilled migrant workers [6][7]. - The research explores the dynamic effects of industrial robot applications on different health-related variables and discusses potential health inequalities arising from these applications [7][10]. Group 3: Conclusions and Policy Recommendations - Overall, the application of industrial robots is found to have a short-term negative impact on the physical and mental health of low-skilled migrant workers, highlighting significant hidden social costs [11]. - The negative effects on health are closely related to factors such as age, parental status, housing loan burdens, and industry of employment [11]. - Recommendations include accelerating income redistribution and healthcare system reforms, implementing differentiated policies based on the characteristics of low-skilled migrant workers, and enhancing coordination among stakeholders [12][13][14].
