China is a big agricultural country.

Therefore, for keeping economic development persistent and healthy in our country, it is very significative to transfer these surplus labors to other industries as soon as possible. Owing to various reasons, the process of agriculture surplus labor transfer is not quite favoring since the People's Republic of China come into existence.

This paper tries to do some research in this field, and it consists of five chapters. In the first chapter, we first redefine the conception of agriculture surplus labor. Then, apply a new method to estimate the amount of it from 1978 in China. In the second chapter, we amply review the researches of the agriculture surplus labor transfer in both western country and China. Then we establish an agriculture surplus labor transfer model in the basis of existing models to accord with the situation of our country. In the third chapter, we apply the transfer model established in previous chapter to analyze the influential factors of the agriculture surplus labor transfer in China. In the fourth chapter, we review the influences of agriculture surplus labor transfer to various aspects of economy and society through different points of view.
