On Characteristics of Employees by Farmers' Self-employersin Contemporary China

“个体户”群体在中国农村社会阶层中处于较重要的位置,且近年来规模在不断扩大。本文以对湖北某两大城市部分农民个体户雇工行为现象的调查为依据,指出其雇工行为受到社会信任、传统规范及价值取向等因素影响而呈现出一种以血缘、地缘、业缘等为衡量标准的雇工特点,并随着社会的发展,农民个体户自身素质的提高即现代性的增强及他们在城市的融合度和支持度的增强等,这种特点将逐步地消失,继而出现一种具有现代性特点的雇工行为。

Among the rural social stratum, “self-employers” are in an important position in China, and the scale is in constant enlargement in reeent years. On the basis of the investigation of the phenomenon in two major cities in Hubei, this paper points out that the empolyment is affected by social trust, traditional norm, and value orientation, and demonstrates the employment is related to blood relationship, geographical reason as well as business reason. With the social development, farmers＇ self-employers improve their quality modernity, their integration and support degree that match the urban standards. As a result, the characteristic of farmers＇ self-employment will gradually disappear, but instead, the employment will possess the characteristic of modernity.
