Research On The Influence Of Transportation Infrastructure And FDI On The Transfer Of Rural Surplus Labor

Since the reform and opening up,a large number of surplus labor force in China’s rural areas has been awakened by the spring breeze of reform,and began to transfer to the coastal areas.A large number of surplus rural labor force is liberated from the farmland and converged into a huge number of migrant workers."If you want to be rich,fix the road first." As an important condition for promoting economic development,transport infrastructure is closely related to the transfer of rural surplus labor force.The continuous improvement of transportation infrastructure provides the possibility of large-scale labor transfer.In particular,after 1998,the government invested a lot in public infrastructure,and the highway and railway traffic infrastructure developed rapidly,which provided a solid foundation for the tide of migrant workers.At the same time,a large number of low cost labor and broad market prospects attract foreign investment into China,making China a "world factory",and thus providing many jobs for rural surplus labor.However,the imbalance between the transfer of foreign capital and the surplus rural labor force in the region is more serious,so as to promote the transfer of surplus labor in rural areas,the new requirements for guiding the rational distribution of foreign capital in the region are put forward.This paper classifies the traffic infrastructure and discusses the influence mechanism of traffic infrastructure,FDI and its interaction on the transfer of rural surplus labor force,which is of great practical significance for further scientific planning of transportation infrastructure,the rational introduction of foreign capital and the effective allocation of labor resources.This paper first divides the traffic infrastructure into two categories of ordinary roads and railways,in order to investigate the local and cross regional effects of traffic infrastructure on the transfer of rural surplus labor.Then it elaborates on the historical transformation and development of transport infrastructure and foreign direct investment.Based on the 1998-2014 year panel data of 30 provinces,this paper analyzes the direct and indirect mechanisms of the transport infrastructure and FDI affecting the transfer of rural surplus labor.On the basis of theoretical analysis and analysis,the spatial autoregressive model is constructed to carry out an empirical analysis.The study shows that the ordinary highway can significantly promote the transfer of surplus rural labor in the central and western regions,and the trans regional effect of Railway(including freeway)can significantly promote the absorption of surplus rural labor in the eastern region,but the effect gradually diminishes after 2009.The railway in the central region caused a large number of rural labor force to flow out before 2009.After 2009,the rural surplus labor gradually attracted into the non-agricultural units in cities and towns.The "cross regional effect" of the railway in the western region still causes a large number of surplus rural labor to flow to other provinces.FDI can stimulate economic growth,increase jobs,and then promote the transfer of surplus rural labor.In the country,FDI can drive the construction of railway infrastructure to promote a large number of Midwest labor transfer to the eastern coastal areas.Finally,from three aspects,the rational planning of the national traffic layout,the gradient transfer to the central and western regions,the reduction of administrative intervention,and the increase of agricultural machinery investment will promote the balanced development of the region and promote the transfer of rural surplus labor force in the three aspects.
