An Empirical Study Of Transference Means Of Rural Surplus Labor And Its Influencing Factors

Since the beginning of 2004, the shortage of the rural migrant workers has turned to be pervasive in our country. So it is an unavoidable fact for the sustainable development of the economy to adopt effective measures to solve the shortage.The reason for the shortage is that the rural surplus labor employed in allopatric places can not meet the needs of the social and economic development. It is necessary to check out which factors restrict the allopatric employment in our country so as to solve the shortage completely. For this reason, taking examples in Shandong Province, the paper mainly concerns the research on the current situation of the local transference and the allopatric employment and its influencing factors on the basis of the spot check.According to the tendency, the proportion of the rural surplus labor for the allopatric employment is continuously increasing along the economic development and the further adoption of the opening-up policy. From the current situation all over the country, the number of the rural surplus labor is more than the one for the allopatric employment and the phenomenon also occurs in Shandong without exception.On the basis of the spot check about the rural surplus labor in Shandong, the paper introduces and analyzes the current situation about the local transference and allopatric employment. It illustrates the differences among gricultural production agent markets, family factor, the individual characteristics of labors, the development levels for regional economy, income, farming time and purposes for the allopatric employment in the aspect of the ways of transferring the rural surplus labor.Taking the local transference as the frame of reference and analyzing with the model of regression of optimal scaling, the paper finds that the influence of these factors, including employment channels, treatment to lands, the position of labors in their families, the education status, the income levels for allopatric employment and non-agricultural employment is positive. The factors including the farming time, the age and the economic development have negative influence on ways of the transference for rural surplus labors. And the size of the families has certain influence on choosing the local transference or the allopatric employment, but not remarkable. And the gender of labors has no distinct effect on choosing the transference ways.In accordance to the above-mentioned analysis, the conclusion includes that, the growth of the agricultural agent market is helpful for enhancing the allopatric employment but the agricultural agent market in our country is immature; the position of labor in their families is another factor restricting the allopatric employment of the rural surplus labors; labors on higher education status tend to the allopatric employment;It is the objective economic law that the improvement of the economy reduces the supply for the rural labor for allopatric employment; the income level of the allopatric labors is the prompting factor for the allopatric employment; labors, choosing either the local transference or allopatric employment aim at increasing their income; and some rural surplus labors who expect to transfer into the city life prefer the allopatric employment, so it is meaningful for enhancing the alopatric employment of the rural surplus labor to arouse their expectation for the transference to the city life.In illusion to the main restrictive factors to the allopatric employment of the rural surplus labors, the author puts forward some suggestions for enhancing the allopatric employment of the rural surplus labors. These suggestions are to build and improve the agricultural agent markets, to adopt various transference ways for broadening transference channels, to strenghten education and improve the quality of labors, to increase the labors'income and their welfare treatment ,to alter labors'mind and make great efforts to cultivate the farmers'modern consciousness.
