摘要

非洲的农村劳动力市场经常出现就业不足的现象,农民无法全年充分使用他们最重要的资产之一--劳动力。我们利用马拉维农村地区 1407 名劳动适龄成年人的九年面板数据,记录了这一时期农村就业不足的变化,以及这些变化与城市化之间的关联。城市附近的增长与临时工(ganyu)和非农业部门工作时间的增加有关,而家庭农场的工作时间则以牺牲为代价。城市交通的改善也与雇佣劳动的小幅增加有关,在密集边际,还与家庭企业的工作时间增加有关。我们从这些结果中汲取了政策、投资和干预方面的经验教训,以利用城市增长促进农村发展。

Rural Underemployment and Urbanisation: Insights from a 9-year Panel from Malawi
Rural labour markets in Africa are frequently characterised by underemployment, with farmers unable to fully deploy throughout the year one of their most important assets—their labour. Using a nine-year panel data set on 1,407 working-age adults from rural Malawi, we document changes in rural underemployment over this period and how they are associated with urbanisation. Nearby urban growth is linked to increased hours worked in casual labour (ganyu) and in non-agricultural sectors, at the expense of work on the household farm. Improved urban access is also associated with a small increase in wage labour and, at the intensive margin, with hours supplied in household enterprises. We draw lessons from these results for policies, investments and interventions to leverage urban growth for rural development.
