Regional Differences in Labor Market Participation,Dependence on Social Mutual Assistance and Rural Social Transformation——Based on the study of traditional rural changes in Henan and Shanxi
The significant regional differences are the distinctive characteristics and basic facts of rural social development in our country.Existing studies related to the end of villages under the perspective of spatial change and the theory of regional differences under the perspective of social structure can hardly provide an adequate explanation of the social transformation of villages and its influencing mechanism in the context of the same social structure in China.Based on the investigation of the traditional rural changes in Henan and Shanxi,the study finds that labor market participation is an important perspective and key variable to understand the rural social transformation in China.Under the condition of participation in the national labor market,the rural labor force in Henan province,as a typical representative,work farther away from their villages,which has a greater impact on the traditional social mutual assistance system of the village,resulting in the increasingly loose relationship between villagers and villages,and more rapid transformation of rural society.Under the condition of regional labor market participation,the rural labor force,typical of rural Shanxi Province,work in a moderate distance from their villages,which has limited impact on the traditional social mutual assistance system of villages,and market-based mechanisms such as one-stop service are difficult to completely replace them.so the relationship between villagers and villages is more resilient,and the transformation of rural society is more gentle.In addition to the existing social structure perspective,the labor market perspective is undoubtedly a further attempt to expand the existing explanations,which can better make up for the explanation gaps left by the existing social structure perspective on China's rural social transformation.
