Labor supply model and labor participation model with the help of CHNS were used to this study. The annual working hours of unhealthy men and women will be reduced by 557 and 897 hours, and participant rate will decrease by 9.01% and 10.77%; Men and women working hours were reduced by 86 and 51 hours, and participant rate decline by 4.49% and 2.35% with age.
