Abstract
Social networks significantly influence health outcomes among rural-urban migrants in China.
- Migrants often rely on social networks for financial and emotional support during health issues.
- Lack of savings is not the only reason for migrants' vulnerability when facing illness.
- Limited social networks can negatively impact health and restrict access to healthcare.
- Some migrants experience assistance from their networks despite financial difficulties.
