Land Tenure Insecurity and Labor Allocation in Rural China

Author:
Bryan Lohmar  


Issue Date:
1999


Abstract(summary):

Understanding the reasons why more rural workers do not participate in off-farm employment in China is important. The movement of labor from agriculture to non-agricultural sources of income is a major feature in China s economic transformation from an agricultural to an industrial economy. Off-farm sources of income are the primary means for rural households to increase their living standards. Village level land management practices appear to be among the reasons some households find off-farm jobs while others do not. The threat of losing land if household workers find off-farm employment deters workers from accessing these jobs. This restricts labor supply to the non-agricultural demanders of labor and increases the number of workers relying on agricultural employment. These effects may in part explain the gap between agricultural versus non agricultural incomes in rural China.
