劳动力外出务工对承灾体恢复力的影响——以河北省邢台县旱灾调查为例

The Influence of Migrant Laborers on Resilience of Hazard Bearing Bodies——A Case Study on Drought Survey in Xingtai County,Hebei Province

农村劳动力资源是构成农户承灾体恢复力的重要因素。一般认为农村劳动力外出务工,可以提高农户家庭的经济水平,进而提升农户的旱灾恢复力。通过对河北省邢台县的实地调查研究发现,劳动力外出务工与农户承灾体恢复力间存在着微妙的关系。研究表明,户主外出务工模式不仅在农业生产的灾后恢复上,而且在农户家庭经济的恢复上均有积极的意义。对于子女外出务工家庭而言,子女不愿意再从事农业生产,并且子女的务工收入对家庭的贡献十分有限,即子女外出务工对家庭旱灾恢复力影响较小。

Rural labor resources are the important factor of resilience of farmer＇s hazard-bearing body. In traditional view, migrant laborers can increase family income, and then improve household drought resilience. A field investigation in Xingtai County, Hebei province shows that there is a subtle relationship between migrant labor and household drought resilience. The study indicates that if a migrant laborer is a householder, he is of active significance not only for post-disaster agricultural production recovery but also for family＇s economic recovery. Meantime householder will contribute his all salary to family and improving family life. But for a family, of which the children leave hometown for wage-labor, the children areno longer willing to engage in agricultural production. The children＇s contribution to the family＇s income is quite limited. So the influence of children migrant laborer on household drought resilience is weaker than that of the householder.
