| With the progress of industrialization and urbanization, the mobility of the whole society is being continuously strengthened. The process of rural youth's transfer employment is the process of social mobility. The paper takes social mobility as theoretical perspective, mainly uses case study and qualitative analysis to study the social phenomenon of rural youth's local transfer employment.The rural youth are tended to be older; most of them have married and have children; the difference of their personal qualities are very big; their family sense of responsibility is strong; they love the township complex. In the process of transfer employment, the social mobility of rural youth is characterized by: the tortuosity of mobile process; the certainty of mobile results; the subjectivity of mobile evaluation. The reasons that rural youth choose to stay in country and to be employed locally are from the influence of the family, the repulsive force from flow-in areas, the attractiveness of flow-out areas and the voluntary choice of the mobile subject. What's the most important, rural youth can voluntarily choose their own lifestyle which is suitable for both them and their family members.With the view of social mobility, the main problems of rural youth's local transfer employment are:ascribed factors are "congenital deficiency"; attained factors are not easy to get. The local transfer employment of rural youth can have some social effects:fundamentally guarantee the stability of the rural society; better protect and inherit the traditional national culture. By analyzing rising status in the family, changes of identity and occupational status, gained reputation in local communities, regional mobility that from remote areas to county district, the social mobility of part of rural youth who have been investigated can be viewed as upward mobility. Finally, we can discuss and look forward:whether the relationship between local transfer and rote-site transfer can be coordinated better or not; if the social mobility of rural youth is upward mobility or downward mobility; whether anticipative intergenarational social mobility can universally achieve upward mobility. |
