A Study On The Relationship Between Land Conversion And Rural Surplus Labor Force In Hubei

Under the dual economic structure, the economic development continuously, urbanization level improving, both of the land resources and labor resources between agricultural and non-agricultural sector changing in Hubei, cultivated land is occupied by constructiong, the rural surplus labor force is increasing. In recent years, it need land resource allocationthe transfer to non-agricultural industries at the time of the fast urbanization process in Hubei, that is to say, the urbanization process can accelerate the process of land conversion. The land conversion process has a certain impact on the demand of the rural labor force. On the trend of the change of arable land and the number of land rural surplus labor from2000to2011in Hubei, there is a relationship between land conversion and rural surplus labor force. How to control land conversion speed and rural surplus labor, avoid excessived land conversion and rural surplus labor stranded, all of these are the key of implement economy stable and sustainable development. So study on the relationship between land conversion and rural surplus labor force in Hubei has practical and guiding significance.Based on the area of land conversion and rural surplus labor force from2000to2011in Hubei, prove that there is a linear regression relationship between land conversion and rural surplus labor force, then analyze the mutual influence between the two. Simultaneously, rely in the factors about land supply such as conversion factor, demand factor, system factor, analyze the impact on land conversion, then analyze the impact on rural surplus labor force. Get the following conclusion:(1) The inhibitory of arable land effect on rural surplus labor mainly displays in the agricultural production demand for labor, demand increase means that the number of rural surplus labor is reduced. On the theory, the influence bring by land use comparative advantage between agriculture sectors and non-agricultural sectors should be positive, but the model estimation results contrary the theoretical analysis. The reason for this result mainly relevant to the special man-land relationship in Hubei. The increasing land from land remediation projects is able to guarantee rural per capita arable land area is rising steadily from2000to2011in Hubei. At the same time, it can intensive use of land conservation, increase agricultural production and farmers income. therefore, land use comparative advantage can increase agriculture department’s ability to absorb labor, and inhibit rural surplus labor grow. Land net income allocated with closely relate to land remediation projects, it can promote land remediation projects, and inhibit rural surplus labor grow.(2) Total population grow shows a sharply rising trend in Hubei, but rural population grow shows a slowly downward trend, the change of the number of rural labor is small. Population urbanization and economic development can improve agricultural technology level, driving the development of rural economy, all of these can increase the obtain of rural labor employment, reduce the surplus labor force.(3) Because of stitutional factors focused on farmland protection policy and land markrt, it make a direct impact on farmland conversion, thus indirectly impact on the role of rural surplus labor force, so the relationship between the number of multiple regression equation shown mainly expressed in terms of measurement, and from the empirical analysis, institutional factors affect the number of rural surplus labor is indirect in Hubei.
