Specialized villages(SVs),as a special form of economic development in agricultural areas,are considered an important lever for rural revitalization.In recent years,many SVs have shown a highly intensive development trend,with the emergence and increase of large specialized households,causing some small specialized households to abandon characteristic production projects.The proportion of specialized households engaging in specialized production in SVs has decreased,and labor outflow has become apparent.Based on the data of two censuses of SVs in Henan Province and the data of field investigation of SVs in typical case areas conducted from 2022 to 2023,this study used the spatial autocorrelation and hot spot analysis methods to analyze the characteristics of labor outflow from different types of SVs.Geographic detectors were used to detect,identify,and analyze the dominant factors of labor outflow from SVs.This study found that:1)Overall,the outflow of labor from SVs in various regions of Henan Province has significantly increased.2)The spatial agglomeration characteristics of labor outflow in agricultural SVs were obvious,while the labor outflow in industrial SVs did not show spatial agglomeration characteristics,and the labor outflow in service and other SVs showed a spatial agglomeration trend.3)The outflow of labor force from agricultural SVs were increasing in various regions,while the outflow of labor force from industrial SVs were most obvious in the eastern region of the province.The outflow of labor force from service industry and other SVs were relatively complex.4)The quantitative analysis results indicate that the rate of specialized households,location characteristics,arable land resources,and human resources are the main factors affecting the outflow of the labor force from SVs.5)This study indicates that the mechanism of labor outflow in SVs is relatively complex,and villages and industries are important material carriers that attract labor force.The interaction of centrifugal force generated in the process of industrial development and centripetal force generated by policies and norms leads to a dynamic state of labor loss and return.
