Abstract Based on the data of China Household Income Project (CHIP2013), this paper analyzes the impact on the welfare of rural households from health shock. The results show that, health shock has a negative significant impact on household welfare. Further analysis shows that, the participation of agricultural labor will reduce the income of rural households, while the participation of migrant labor will improve the income of rural households. The influence of health impact on rural household income level is affected to some extent by the family labor participation rate. In different groups, the welfare of families is affected by health shock with different education level, assets and age of household head, but the effect on different groups is different. Therefore, we should improve the health care level in rural areas, eliminate the binary structure of urban and rural areas, build a reasonable and orderly mechanism for social mobility and reduce the inequality among groups, improve the welfare of rural families.
