found that migrant workers in China had good health. Overall, migrant workers engage in excessive overtime work to increase their income, despite the harm it causes to their health, and overtime work is more serious in the male groups. Income and labor market institutions are more important factors than health for migrant workers’ labor supply decisions. If there are fewer restrictions on workers’ work time choices and they can arrange their work more flexibly, the observed result should be that people with worse health should reduce their working time. So, the impact of health on the working hours of migrant workers depends on the labor market system. Income plays a compensatory role in the relationship between health and working hours and also serves as an incentive for workers to invest more time in their jobs. However, this effect is ineffective for workers who engage in excessive overtime work, where the health deterioration exceeds the compensatory effect of income on health. These findings enrich the literature on the interpretation of the relationship between health, welfare, and working hours among migrants.
I will assume you’re trying to make a point I am wrong, as you still did not make your point.

With 48h average (same study, figure 1) while the legally allowed worktime is 40h a week 44h with overtime. I mean I don’t know if you’re deliberately obtuse, or what here, because you still dis not make your point.
you’re describing illegal working conditions. so is China a totalitarian oppressive society or is it intentionally exploiting migrant workers? you can’t have both.
this study…
You can also read past first paragraph, to Figure 1, to see
Or you can continue to be, idk, whatever you are.
Or I am missing your point, because you didn’t make one.
you could try reading all the way to the conclusion.
