Analyzed data using a mixed logit model to evaluate the influence of six job attributes.
Performed willingness-to-pay estimates and subgroup analyses.
Welfare benefits had the highest valuation at 1115 RMB per month for comprehensive social insurance.
Primary health workers valued workload reductions at approximately 1047 RMB per month.
Training opportunities were valued at 927 RMB monthly, with simulations indicating better incentives could significantly improve job uptake.
