How Does Agricultural Production Trusteeship Promote Rural Women's Non-farm Employment?
Agricultural production trusteeship helps release rural women from agricultural production constraints and create favorable conditions for their non-farm employment This paper empirically analyzes the impact of agricultural production trusteeship on rural women's non-farm employment using data from a sample of 2047 female labors in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin.The study finds that agricultural production trusteeship has a significant promotion effect on rural women's non-farm employment.Compared with rural women who do not adopt agricultural production trusteeship services,adopting agricultural production trusteeship services not only significantly increases the probability of rural women's participation in non-farm employment,but also significantly increases their non-farm employment time.In terms of non-farm employment choices and market returns,agricultural production trusteeship promotes the part-time transfer of rural women's labor and facilitates them to go out to work,and significantly increases their non-farm employment income.Mechanism analysis shows that agricultural production trusteeship stimulates rural women's non-farm employment by exerting a time-release effect.Heterogeneity analysis shows that agricultural production trusteeship plays a stronger role in promoting non-farm employment for rural women who have a lower level of household income,a lighter burden of child care,a heavier burden of supporting the elderly,and who grow grain crops.Further analysis confirms that there are significant gender differences in the non-farm employment promotion effect of agricultural production trusteeship.Agricultural production trusteeship has a stronger non-farm employment promotion effect on rural women compared to male laborers.This paper provides policy implications for accelerating the development of agricultural production hosting services and enhancing rural women's non-farm labor participation.
