Effect of poverty alleviation relocation on non-farm employment of household labor force and its mechanism:Based on the analysis of 7th-phase tracking data of 857 farmers in the poverty-stricken areas of Wuling Mountain
The study explores the effects of centralized poverty alleviation relocation on the promotion of non-farm employment of household labor by constructing a theoretical mechanism model.On this basis,using the tracking data of 857 households in the contiguous areas of dire poverty in the Wuling Mountain from 2014 to 2020,we empirically verified the promotion effect and mechanism of centralized poverty alleviation relocation on the non-farm employment of labor force.The study shows that the centralized poverty alleviation relocation increased the proportion of non-farm and cross-regional employment of households.The government has effectively promoted changes in the location of non-farm employment of households without non-farm experience by providing job positions and assisting in matching with enterprises for employment and other measures.The mechanism analysis found that the support of agricultural characteristic industries,the provision of vocational skills training,targeted labor dispatch,and the organization of recruitment meetings have mediating effects in the policy of centralized poverty alleviation relocation in raising the share of households in non-farm employment.The study proposes that employment and entrepreneurship support should be carried out for different relocated groups in a different way,and efforts should be made to stabilize the employment scale of relocated groups.Public services should be strengthened,and follow-up support policies should be combined to help the relocated groups achieve economic benefits more quickly.
