This book takes the income distribution effect of urban and rural employment structure evolution as the research object, combined with the special situation of China's economic development, and supported by time series data and panel data analysis and econometric model demonstration since the reform and opening up, this book reveals how the evolution of China's urban and rural employment structure affects residents' income distribution and its influence intensity, so as to expand modern labor market theory, Therefore, it is of great significance to deepen the theory of labor employment and improve the theory of income distribution.
The main members of the research group directed some college students to conduct random sampling of urban and rural labor force questionnaire survey in Anhui (Hefei, Anqing), Hubei (Jingmen, Wuhan), Yunnan (Kunming), Jiangxi (Nanchang, Jiujiang, Fuzhou) and other cities in the central and western regions in 2015, At the same time, a nationwide online (wechat) questionnaire survey was conducted (through the questionnaire Star Software). A total of 1100 questionnaires were distributed, and 518 valid questionnaires were obtained from more than 10 provinces in different regions of the country, including Eastern, central, Western and Northeast China, and the relevant original data of urban and rural labor force employment and income were obtained. Through the analysis of the survey data, the research group found the basic characteristics of the current employment structure and income distribution of urban and rural labor force in China, which provides a more objective analysis basis and reference conditions for the in-depth study of this topic.
Due to historical reasons, China's rural labor force transfer has Chinese characteristics, that is, although rural labor force transfers to cities and towns, the vast majority of them still retain the right to contract rural land. In addition to working in cities, these labors have to go home to assist agricultural production in the busy farming season every year, which belongs to the nature of industrial and agricultural transfer, The transfer of rural labor force in China has obvious characteristics of part-time employment.
The theoretical connotation of urban and rural employment structure evolution and income distribution rationalization; the correlation between urban and rural employment structure evolution and income distribution; the influencing factors of urban and rural employment structure evolution in China.
An analysis of the dynamic relationship between the evolution of China's regional employment structure and Urban-Rural Income Distribution ——— An Empirical Test Based on the pvar model; and an empirical measurement of the impact of the evolution of China's urban and rural employment structure on income distribution.
The key to realize the evolution of urban and rural employment structure and the rationalization of income distribution is to further deepen the reform of the existing urban-rural disharmony system and realize the integration of urban and rural areas. The crux of the uncoordinated economic and social development between urban and rural areas is mainly reflected in a series of factors that restrict the reasonable, orderly and free flow of labor force. For example, the social security system in urban and rural areas increases the living cost of rural labor force's migration to urban areas, and the enrollment mode of school registration based on household registration results in educational discrimination of rural labor force children, The price difference of industrial and agricultural products makes the low-end agricultural labor force's income lower, and the income gap between urban and rural areas widens. In addition, a series of problems related to farmers' economic interests, such as the price level of rural land acquisition and the confirmation of land rights, have not been effectively solved in some areas for a long time, resulting in the low market-oriented income of rural residents' production factors, and restricting the stable and reasonable transfer of many agricultural surplus labor force to the urban secondary and tertiary industries. Therefore, in order to construct an effective regulatory mechanism for the evolution of China's urban and rural employment structure, we must base on the perspective of income distribution rationalization, and take the Employment marketization, market legalization and government service as the general idea of system design. In order to establish a unified, open, competitive and orderly labor market, the means to cultivate and develop the labor market should be to play the role of economic laws, deepen the reform of household registration system, and build a unified labor market. In addition, the key to the realization of urban-rural integration lies in accelerating the construction of a unified and standardized labor market, making employment market-oriented, forming a unified urban-rural economic development system, a coordinated urban-rural industrial development system, a urban-rural employment service system, and a protection system for the rights and interests of urban and rural workers, so as to realize the free flow of labor force between urban and rural areas, industries and regions, We should give full play to the fundamental and decisive role of the labor market in the allocation of labor resources, strengthen the legislative protection of labor force, especially the rural labor force, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers, build a fair and orderly competition mechanism, and ensure the equal threshold of employment access, so as to fully reflect the market value of labor force. The labor market has the function of self-regulation and equilibrium recovery under the function of competition mechanism. However, in reality, the spontaneity, blindness and lag of market regulation will lead to the disorder of labor market. Therefore, modern market economy should be a rule of law economy with macro-control. Only under a perfect legal system can the labor market operate in a standardized and orderly manner. The integration of urban and rural labor market requires strengthening institutional innovation, establishing a legal system of equal labor market between urban and rural areas, formulating standardized market operation rules, and forming a market mechanism to safeguard social public interests and fair competition, so as to realize market legalization. Government service-oriented means that the government plays a referee and auxiliary role in the labor market, provides labor employment services for both supply and demand, builds employment service platform, actively mobilizes social intermediary forces, and gives necessary guidance, so as to promote the market to play a positive role and supervise and control the market, so as to effectively prevent and reduce the risk of market failure.
Based on the above theoretical and empirical analysis, and combined with the actual situation of China's economy and society at this stage, the book believes that in the new normal period of medium and high-speed growth under the overall downward pressure of economic development, China should take promoting the rationalization of income distribution as the starting point, learn from the successful experience of developed regions at home and abroad, and take the supply side structural reform as the main line Employment marketization, market legalization, and government service are the control ideas. Around the composition system of effective regulation and control mechanism, a series of targeted policies and measures are formulated and implemented according to the background of entering the new era, comprehensively deepen the reform and make use of various institutional, economic, social, policy and legal factors that affect the optimization of urban and rural employment structure Remove the relevant obstacles, so that the evolution of urban and rural employment structure and urban-rural income distribution from the actual existence of the reverse equilibrium to the positive balance, and realize the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development and high-quality development of China's economy and society.
