Employment Returns to Early Settlement of"Agricultural to Non-Agricultural"Households——Based on an Educational Human Capital Perspective
Exploring the employment returns of the urbanized population is an important window for examining the quality of new urbanization.Using data from the China General Social Survey(CGSS),this paper empirically examines the impact of early hukou conversion from"agricultural to non-agricultural"on the quality of employment in adulthood from an educational human capital perspective.The quantitative analysis found that obtaining a non-agricultural hukou status at an early age significantly improves the quality of employment in adulthood.Using various robustness tests such as IPWRA and AIPW treatment effect models and propensity score matching(PSM),the employment quality improvement effect of early hukou conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural still holds.Under the reality of the objective disparity between urban and rural education resources,the early hukou conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural has broken through the barrier of access to education resources and improved the education level and quality of those who have changed their hukou status,which is an important mechanism for the early hukou conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural to improve the quality of employment.This study provides a new perspective for examining the performance of new urbanization construction and a new impetus for promoting the urbanization of the agricultural transfer population.
