How does Rural Women's Local Employment Enhance the Self-driven Development Motivation of Their Families?A Case Study on Poverty Alleviation Workshop
Enhancing the self-driven development motivation of poverty-stricken families is of great significance for consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation and comprehensively promoting rural revitalization.This paper first defines the family's self-driven development motivation from two dimensions,which are families'development beliefs and development capabilities,and then constructs a comprehensive analytical framework for the entire study.Taking rural women working in poverty alleviation workshops in Fuping County,Hebei Province as an example this paper analyzes the impact of local employment of rural women on their personal self-driven development motivation,as well as the driving process and results of the self-driven development motivation of their families.We find that,first,employment in the workshops has promoted rural women's labor participation and significantly enhanced their personal development beliefs and abilities.Second,increased income from local employment has reshaped the family status of rural women,and the family interaction linked by economic and emotional interactions has also changed,which further stimulates family development beliefs,improves family development abilities,and enhances the overall intrinsic development motivation within the family.It is worth noting that the impact of local employment of rural women on their husbands is only reflected in the life,and the improvement of the husbands'productive self-driven development motivation has not yet been verified in reality.This indicates that the relationship between women's employment and family development is complex in real-life situations.Nevertheless,we cannot deny the wisdom and power embedded in rural women and the important role of local employment of rural women in family development Therefore,our paper suggests that gender-targeted aid program should be a public policy tool to enhance the self-driven development motivation within families and an important path to promote the refinement of China's social governance and modernization of poverty governance system and capability.
