Abstract: Using the six waves of China Health and Nutrition Survey data 1997 2011,this paper explores the impacts of parental migration for work on the health and education of their children left behind. The endogenous treatment effect model is employed to address the selection bias. The paper finds that parental migration for work significantly decreases the education level of their children,especially for rural children. It also decreases their children??s heights but reduces the probability of children being overweight. The former effect is more significant for the urban children and the latter one has greater impact on the rural children. However,parental migration has no significant effect on whether or not children have diseases in the past four weeks. These effects are different for children at different ages.
