城镇化、劳动分工与农村市场扩展

Urbanization,Labor Division,and Expansion of Rural Market

市场规模的扩展是影响经济增长的重要因素。在现代社会,从长期来看,市场的扩展取决于劳动分工的演进。如果没有分工的深化,就意味着没有创新和新的产业出现,市场的规模是不会真正扩大的。然而分工的演进又受制于交易效率。在城镇化过程中,人口和产业不断聚集起来,可以极大地提高交易效率,促进分工深化和市场规模的扩展。在当前我国城镇化水平滞后的情况下,扩展市场、扩大内需的根本思路是要加快城镇化进程,进行社会经济结构的调整,促进农村地区的分工深化。

The expansion of the market scale is an important factor to affect the economy development. In the modem society, the expansion of the market depends on the evolution of labor division from the perspective of long-term. No deepening of labor division means no innovation and no industry, in other words, the market scale will not be expanded. However, the evolution of labor division depends on the trade efficiency. In the process of urbanization, the population gathers together, as well as the industry, which can improve the trade efficiency greatly, which, in turn, can deepen the labor division and expand the market. Under the situation of underdeveloped turbanization in China, the key to expand the market and enlarge the domestic consumption is to speed up the process of urbanization, to adjust the social and economic structure, and to deepen the labor division in the rural regions.
