In this dissertation, we analyzed the characteristics of Chinese peasants, identified the correlation between peasants transformation and industrialization and explored the technical, industrial and institutional basis for such transformation. Industrialization also is the process of peasants transformation, which transfer the peasants from scattered, backward and small producers to new producers, which reorganized into large industrial system and integrated with the high level industrial production, the peasants also come across from old traditional customs into modern industrial civilization.The semi-transformation of peasants as migrant workers is hindering the progress of China's industrialization. Under the constraints of the current land system and the semi-transition of peasants, China's agriculture is dissected to small farmers. Consequently, although the primary industry still retains40%of the workforce, labor transition has ceased and begun to alter. In order to release more surplus labor, thorough transition of peasants must be effected. Accounted nearly70%of the population.the900million peasants is the bottleneck, while also leave further expansion for industrialization. The ability of react to industrialization, the creativity and human wealth accumulation of peasants, can be regarded as the benchmark of industrialization In this sense, peasant transformation is the inevitable way of industrialization in China.The theory of peasants transformation provide a new perspective on China's industrialization。 Its research based on three closely related theories:of productive forces of Marxist theory; capital theory, including human capital theory; theory of industrial organization. To describe the process of peasants transformation, we construct the index of peasants transformation, empirical analysis based on panel data we collecting data of peasants and migrant workers, some data from factory survey or village survey.Peasants should transfer from traditional agriculture to modern sector with labor productivity improvement. Peasants transformation has three dimensions in practice:human capital level, division level and conversion agglomeration.It realized from three aspects, which are industry traction, urbanization absorbing, agriculture and rural labor release. There are three paradox in current industrialization:industrialization upgrade to employment priority objectives, urbanization to rural labor expelled effect, the rigidity of land system to labour liquidity..It restrict peasants transformation, and also the breakthrough.for peasants transformation This contradiction come from institutional monopoly. Defuse contradictions and promote competition, break monopoly, will bring about industrialization upgrade and peasants transformation.Peasants transformation and industrialized phase as the mirror for each other.We believe that peasants have the needs and capabilities of self-support and self-development in a market economy. What we need to do is just stimulate the productivity and creativity of the900million peasants in China. It is a natural historical process. for peasants transformation in industrialization. Productivity is the cornerstone of social progress, and the core is labor productivity. In history, because material capital was more scarce, labor often was neglected. In the late of20th century industrialization entered human capital era. People--oriented no longer just namely introduction,it can be the solid foundation for endogenous growth. Peasants transformation, need full advantage of the power of industrialization, and gradually create a perfect market and institutional environment. Peasants transformation not only to improve the situation of peasants, more importantly, it lead to a extensive industrialized areas,and to change the state of dual in economic and social in China.
