返乡农户与长期农户的农业生产差异：生产规模与技术培训参与

Difference of Agricultural Production between Return Migrants and Non-migrants: Farm Size and Participation in Technological Training

摘要:

农业劳动力老龄化和农民工返乡使得农业劳动力结构发生根本性变化。基于7省2 293个农户的调查数据,分析了长期农户、有务农经验的返乡农户和无务农经验的返乡农户在农业生产规模和参与技术培训方面的差异。结果发现,三种类型农户在务农年限、年龄、受教育水平及富裕程度等实际农业生产决策人和家庭特征上均存在明显差异。无务农经验的返乡农户的耕地规模显著大于其他两类农户,且该差异主要体现在适合大规模种植的农作物面积上。同时,无务农经验的返乡农户参与技术培训的积极性更高,但是不同类型农户的技术需求存在差异。

Abstract:

The aging agricultural labor force and return of migrant labor force result in the fundamental change of the structure of agricultural labor force. Based on a survey dataset covering 2 293 rural households in seven provinces, this study analyzes the difference in farm size and participation in technological training among non-migrants, return migrants with agricultural experience, and return migrants without agricultural experience. The results show that there exists obvious difference in individual and family characteristics, such as years of farming, age, education, and wealth. Return migrants without agricultural experience manage significant larger size of farms than the other two types of households, and such difference exists in the production of crops fitting for large-scale production. Meanwhile, return migrants without agricultural experience perform much more active in participating technological training. However, the demand of different types of households for agricultural technologies differs.
