Study On Income Effect Of Land Transfer From The Perspective Of Peasant Household Livelihood

The issue of "agriculture,rural areas and farmers" has long been one of the key points of our government’s work.Land is an important factor of agricultural development for rural residents,so it is the key to the issue of "agriculture,rural areas and farmers".The 20 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to comprehensively promote the rural revitalization and development of agricultural moderate scale management,and to achieve the moderate scale of agriculture must carry on the effective circulation and optimal allocation of rural land.Land transfer can promote the change of household livelihood capital,which leads to the change of household livelihood strategy and has an impact on household income.Whether farmers participate in land transfer and their household livelihood is sustainable is related to the stable implementation of land transfer policy.Based on this,this paper takes X Village,Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as an example,combines the existing scholars’ research and takes the sustainable livelihood theory and farmer’s behavior theory proposed by the Department for International Development(DFID)of the UK as the theoretical basis.From the perspective of household livelihood capital,three dimensions of individual characteristics,family characteristics and social characteristics affecting household income are constructed and the research hypothesis is put forward.The propensity score matching method was used to test the effects of land transfer on the overall household income of farmers and the effects of different land transfer directions on the household income of farmers with different livelihood strategies.The following empirical conclusions were drawn: Land transfer has a significant impact on the overall household income and non-agricultural income,but has no significant impact on the overall household income.At the same time,according to different circulation directions,land inflow has a significant impact on the growth of household income of farmers with agricultural livelihood strategies,while land outflow has no significant impact on the growth of household income of farmers with non-agricultural livelihood strategies.Land transfer is still not ideal for the growth of household income and the sustainable development of household livelihood: First,the small-scale inflow of land into operation limits the increase of income of farmers with agricultural livelihood;Second,the lack of migrant labor skills inhibits non-agricultural livelihood farmers to obtain non-agricultural income;Third,the implementation and supervision of the transfer policy is not in place to restrict the income of non-agricultural livelihood farmers;Fourth,the business risk of the main body of circulation affects the farmers’ continuous income.To some extent,farmers’ land transfer has not realized income growth,which leads to the unsustainable livelihood and prone to return to poverty.Therefore,corresponding measures should be taken to deal with this phenomenon: first,strengthen guidance and help to improve the income of farmers with agricultural livelihood;Second,increase vocational training and publicity efforts to increase non-agricultural livelihood farmers’ income;Third,improve the local land transfer policy content and supervision mechanism;Fourth,more measures to reduce business risks to ensure stable income of farmers.
