Rural Labor Transfer Mode and Regional Nonequilibrium Degree Comparative Study in Shandong and Henan Provinces

Abstract

With the rapid propulsion of the industrialization and urbanization, it becomes a common problem which every country must face in the period of its urbanization that rural surplus labor flow to cities in a large scale. As the first two biggest demographic provinces in China, Shandong and Henan have millions of rural surplus labor, and at the same time, the two provinces cover the similar area. Thus, on the subject of rural labor transfer, the two provinces have much comparability. Considering Shandong and Henan as examples, the author analyzes the transfer modes of rural labor in the aspects of transfer region type, transfer industry type, transfer population type, transfer time type, and transfer income. On this basis, the author builds regional nonequilibrium degree index system of rural labor transfer. And the author makes the quantitative analysis and a comprehended evaluation of Shandong and Henan provinces' regional nonequilibrium degree of rural labor transfer.
