Research On The Employment Characteristics And Mechanism Of Rural Labor Force Transfer In The Fringe Areas Of Large Citie

In the context of China’s unique urban-rural dual system,how to realize the orderly transfer of rural labor force to employment is the key to solving the "three rural problems" in China since the reform and opening up.Driven by the dual strategies of new urbanization and rural revitalization,China’s urbanization has entered a strategic transition period of urban-rural integration and development.At the same time,as the most intense urban-rural interaction and conflict,the rural labor transfer employment in the peripheral areas of large cities presents multidimensional characteristics such as two-way mobility,multi-faceted composite and regional spatiality.Therefore,this thesis constructs a mechanism analysis framework based on the triple elements of institution,space and family,selects the Lanshan District of Linyi City as an empirical case,dissects the divergent characteristics and inner mechanism of rural labor transfer employment in large urban fringe areas,and proposes strategies to cope with urban-rural integration in large urban fringe areas,in order to provide theoretical and practical implications for the local practice of urban-rural integration and rural revitalization.The study follows the overall research logic of "problem formulation-framework construction-characteristic study-mechanism analysis-strategic response",and focuses on how to identify the localized characteristics and mechanisms of rural labor transfer in the rural areas.The study follows the overall research logic of "problem formulation-framework construction-characteristics study-mechanism analysis-strategy response",and focuses on how to identify the localized characteristics and mechanisms of rural labor migration,incorporate the spatial and value dimensions,and explore the operationalized strategies for urban-rural integration.The research review shows that the explanatory logic of existing studies is generally a dualistic methodology of structuralism and individualism,lacking responses to institutional structural constraints,spatial influences,and family value logic.Therefore,this thesis constructs a ternary explanatory model with the core concept of "structural constraint-spatial limitation-value adaptation".The explanatory model is based on push-pull theory,new family economics theory,local utility theory,and embedding theory,and attempts to integrate "urban-rural","individualfamily","structure-energy" and other multifaceted dialectical studies."On the other hand,we try to explore the logic of "value adjustment" from the perspective of family,in order to enhance the explanatory power of family value in the decision of rural labor transfer.In terms of characteristics,the study focuses on two aspects,namely,spatial mobility and non-farm transfer,and deconstructs the divergent characteristics of non-farm employment of rural laborers in three dimensions,namely,individual,spatial and family.The LBS data and village household survey questionnaires in Lanshan District were used as data support.It is found that the individual divergence is characterized by the "weak core-strong edge" divergence in spatial mobility and the "strong south-north weak" divergence in nonfarm employment intensity;the spatial divergence is characterized by the "point clustering + regional circles" type geographical pattern divergence in the macro area.The spatial differentiation is characterized by the geographic pattern differentiation of "point concentration + regional circle",the distance differentiation of "strong proximity" within the city,and the functional differentiation of "commercial-led and industrial-assisted" within the city.The household differentiation is characterized by "life-employment" occupational and residential differentiation and "occupation-location" employment choice differentiation.In terms of mechanism analysis,based on the ternary explanatory model,the empirical study focuses on the external structural constraint mechanism led by institutional policies,the urban-rural spatial limitation mechanism at the edge of large cities,and the family-centered subject value adjustment mechanism.First,the external structural constraint mechanism manifests itself as the urban-rural dualistic system regulating the spatial mobility behavior of labor,the employment market restricting the access threshold of nonfarm employment of labor,and the social structure incentivizing the decision of nonfarm transfer of labor.Secondly,the urban-rural spatial restriction mechanism is manifested as the natural endowment of rural areas restricts labor’s non-farm employment choice,the employment distance attenuates labor’s spatial mobility intensity,and the urban-rural functional space restricts labor’s job and residence network balance.Thirdly,the mechanism of subject value adjustment manifests itself as the impact of individual economic rationality on labor’s "agricultural-nonagricultural" employment choice,the adjustment of family ethical value to "individual-family" equilibrium model,and the social path dependence guiding labor’s "commuting-away" spatial decision.The spatial mobility of the labor force is guided by social path dependence.In terms of strategic response,focusing on the regional background of large urban fringe areas and the background of urban-rural integration development,we propose three strategic suggestions for coupling rural labor force to transfer employment in terms of institutional innovation,functional integration and service parity.First,with the aim of two-way flow of rural labor factors,corresponding institutional innovation suggestions are made in terms of innovative land system,improved household registration system,and innovative talent system.Secondly,in terms of functional integration,the planning response is proposed in terms of urban-rural spatial integration,industrial structure optimization and infrastructure network improvement around the spatial network of rural labor force jobs and residences.Finally,with the equalization of urban and rural public services as the core,strategic suggestions are made to improve the baseline guarantee of labor force transfer employment in terms of the improvement of basic welfare facilities in urban and rural areas,the equality of employment market,and the integration of employment training.Finally,the main conclusions,possible innovations,and shortcomings of the study are summarized in the full thesis,and future research is also prospected.
