Tibet Of Rural Surplus Labor Countermeasures

The economic development and social stability of Tibet Autonomous Region is not only directly related to china's national interests but is also important for achieving progress and prosperity for the whole country. The Tibet development mode is being shifted from merely accelerating to moving forward by leaps and bounds, from relatively closed to fully opened-up, from single agriculture and animal husbandry to multi-faceted economic development, from simply meeting the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter to comprehensively constructing a well-off society. The Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party has attached great importance to the development of the Tibet Autonomous Region for more than 60 years. The Fifth Forum on Work in Tibet stressed that we should grasp the present opportunities and strive to achieve the goal of a Tibet"great-leap-forward"development. The key to achieving this goal is to promote the development of local economies, enhance the capability of autonomous development, and raise the farmers' income. In Tibet, even though farmers and herdsmen make up the major part of the Autonomous Region's population, agricultural production lags far behind national averages. We must accelerate the transfer of rural surplus labor forces, ultimately increasing farmers' income. The problem of the transfer of rural surplus labor has a common urgency across all of China, but in Tibet it has its own unique challenges as well: Tibet must overcome the dual rural-urban divide and east-west gap which are both compounded by its weak economic foundation.Based on the analysis of the economic development stage and the unique characteristics of Tibet, this article seeks to reveal the restrictive factors inhibiting the transfer of rural surplus labor force, and then proposes measures to encourage such transfer. The text is divided into three parts: (1) the research background, the research significance, the research methods, the literature review, and the definition of some ideas, which classifies the transfer of rural surplus labor force theoretically. (2)understands the status quo of the transfer of rural surplus labor force in Tibet from the perspective of its development stage and the actual situation, as well as probes the economic, social, and cultural bottlenecks for the rural surplus labor transfer in Tibet—the "atypical dual economic structure" of Tibet is seen as the deeply-rooted reason for limiting the transfer of rural labor force—moreover, lack of educational opportunities, low level of urbanization, the confinement of traditional culture, weak economic consciousness and lack of relevant policies all combine to restrict the transfer of rural surplus labor force in Tibet. (3)based on the status quo of rural surplus labor force transfer and the restricting factors, further discusses possible responsive measures. With the central governments' support and accounting for the actual local realities, Tibet should shore up economic industrialization moderately, spare no effort to construct essential infrastructure, improve the residents' educational opportunities, augment the traditional culture with modern socialism, develop local special industries, and thus promote the transfer of rural surplus labor forces in Tibet.
