A Study On The Relation Between Transfer Of Rural Surplus Labor And Rural Economy Development

Rural development need increase farmers' income, and increase of the income need improve farmers' employment. The report of the sixteenth NPC indicates that the transfer of rural surplus labor (TRSL) to non-agricultures and cities or towns is a inevitable tendency of industrialization and modernization. TRSL is a systematical engineer. The past researches, at the same time of emphasizing transfer, not only cognize the devotion of TRSL to whole economy and rural citilization, but also notice ,by and large, the support of rural economy development (RED) to TRSL and city development. In our country, the characteristic and actuality of TRSL needs and generally conduces to the active RED. We should make use of the reality support RED and improve TRSL. So it has important guiding meaning for benign TRSL and rural non-agriculturalizing development, and also accords with the present TRSL's characteristics, recognizing the importance of RED to TRSL and making them harmonization. At first, the literature brings forward the issue from contrast of theory and actuality, and analyzes the relation of resource status and economy development theoretically. It introduces the decisive role of the former including resources' quantity, quality etc. to the latter, explains the latter certainly to change technical status of production and cause resources' save, substituting effect and the change of quality requirement, and conclusively induces the importance of their harmonization. Labor is a special input-factor; transfer of labor belongs to resource distribution naturally. TRSL is also to realize efficient RED and at last, rural citilization development; RED also inevitably effects on TRSL. Theoretically, their harmonization is necessary, which has been proved by the past research and the present characteristic of our country's TRSL. Then, the literature discusses the improvement of rural human capital increase, agricultural development and the development of rural non-agricutural division of labor, on TRSL, and highlights the harmonizing development between TRSL and RED. It indicates that rural technical progress is the source of harmonization, so obtaining inspiration that we'd better improve RED and TRSL by adaptable technical progress, and that the variety of rural adaptable technical progress decides different strategies of TRSL and RED. It probes into microcosmic harmonization mechanisms of rural human-capital accumulation, institution innovation, and labor-division—employment evolution, and also verifies the thought by a case investigation. Finally, the literature concludes that at present, we, at the same time of adverting the improvement of TRSL on RED, should more notice to selectively push rural adaptable technical progress, pay more attention to the RED's counteraction on TRSL, and emphasize their dynamic harmonization. The suggestion is that government should suit for causing institution evolution to actively push institution innovation, increase rural basic investment to exert multiplying effect of investment, and strengthen its ability of macro-control to promote the harmonization between TRSL and RED, ect..
