Abstract

With the dynamic and complex changes in the farmers’ living environment and the vigorous development of entrepreneurial activities worldwide, farmer entrepreneurship is experiencing rapid growth. However, whether farmer entrepreneurship enhances the welfare of farmers’ families demands further scrutiny. Utilizing data from the Chinese Family Tracking Survey and drawing on Amartya Sen’s capability approach, this article formulates a farmer family welfare evaluation index system to comprehensively assess the impact of farmer entrepreneurship on farmer families. The research findings reveal the following: (1) Entrepreneurship contributes to enhancing the welfare of farmer families, with entrepreneurial farmer families experiencing higher welfare levels than their non-entrepreneurial counterparts. (2) Farmer entrepreneurship falls short of delivering complete welfare improvements to farmers’ families. While various welfare conditions, such as family economics, social security, living conditions, and psychological conditions, have improved after starting a business, health welfare has seen a decline. (3) Farmland transfer significantly influences the process of farmer entrepreneurship, directly fostering the family welfare of entrepreneurial farmers. (4) Farmers’ entrepreneurial behavior yields greater welfare benefits for the new generation, farmers with higher education levels, and those situated in the central region. Building on these findings, this study proposes relevant improvement suggestions to offer robust support for policy considerations.
量化农民创业带来的家庭福利
随着农民生活环境的动态复杂变化和全球创业活动的蓬勃发展,农民创业正经历着快速增长。然而,农民创业是否能提高农民家庭的福利,还需要进一步研究。本文利用中国家庭追踪调查的数据,借鉴阿马蒂亚-森的能力方法,制定了农民家庭福利评价指标体系,以全面评估农民创业对农民家庭的影响。研究结果表明(1) 创业有助于提高农民家庭的福利,创业农民家庭的福利水平高于非创业农民家庭。(2) 农民创业并不能完全改善农民家庭的福利。创业后,家庭经济、社会保障、生活条件、心理状况等各种福利条件都有所改善,但健康福利有所下降。(3) 农地流转极大地影响了农民创业的进程,直接促进了创业农民的家庭福利。(4)农民创业行为为新生代农民、教育水平较高的农民和中部地区农民带来了更大的福利。在这些结论的基础上,本研究提出了相关的改进建议,为政策考虑提供有力支持。
