Off-farm Employment of Agricultural Labor Forces and the Concentration of Agricultural Land
Researchers and officers have proposed to concentrate agricultural land by improving offfarm employment of agricultural labor forces to overcome the decentralized shortcoming of household responsibility system and raise agricultural productivity. However, the present empirical study by employing household survey data in 2005 and 2006 shows that off-farm employment of agricultural labor forces does not have significantly effect on concentrating agricultural land. The reason may lay in that the shortage of agricultural labor forces due to offfarm employment are offset by outsourcing part of agricultural work.
