Study on Effects of Land Transfer on Human Capital Accumulation of Rural Adolescents and Its Mechanisms
Human capital accumulation is an inevitable requirement for the promotion of rural talent revitalization.Using the CFPS2018 database,in accordance with the logical framework of"land transfer →family education cognition→ intergenerational human capital investment → adolescent human capital accumulation",the paper uses the PSM model and the mediation effect model to explore the effects and mechanisms of land transfer policies on human capital accumulation of rural adolescents,and the differences in the effects are explored based on the gender of household decision makers.The results show that:(1)compared with rural families that did not participate in land transfer,rural families that participated in land transfer has a higher level of adolescent human capital accumulation and their children has a higher academic achievement;(2)rural families involved in land transfer have higher educational cognition,which in turn will increase the material and non-material human capital investments of their adolescent children and ultimately promote the accumulation of adolescent human capital investments;(3)in rural households involved in land transfer,female household decision-makers pay attention to education investment.So,the relevant policy design should focus on how to promote rural land transfer,make up for the shortcomings of human capital accumulation in rural areas,and carry out female poverty alleviation programs to further achieve optimal allocation of educational resources and effective reduction of the gap between urban and rural educational development.
