Parental migration is linked to an 8.03% increase in left-behind children's doctor visits, improving healthcare access.
The study analyzed data from 1238 children using a difference-in-differences approach, spanning from 2010 to 2018.
Left-behind boys are more likely to seek healthcare than girls, revealing significant gender disparities in health-seeking behaviours.
Improving access to clean energy and medical insurance is essential for enhancing health service utilization among left-behind children.
