农地边际化及其与农村劳动力迁移的关系研究——以湖北省通城县为例

Marginalization of Arable Land and its Correlation with Rural Labor Migration

在理清农地边际化内涵的基础上,提出了诊断农地边际化程度的指标,包括农地利用的纯收益、总收益和单位面积农地的农产品产量。依托在湖北省通城县的685份农户调查资料,结合1985～2006年通城县的国民经济统计资料,应用综合指标法、聚类分析法、相关分析法研究了通城县的各类型农地的边际化程度及其与农村劳动力迁移的关系。结果表明,1985年以来,通城县农地发生了2次边际化现象,旱地的边际化程度深于水田;农地边际化程度与农村劳动力迁移具有显著相关性,且水田边际化程度与劳动力迁移的相关性大于旱地;农地边际化会促进农村劳动力的迁移,在目前农地流转不畅的情况下,农村劳动力的迁移会进一步加深农地边际化程度,因此,农地边际化是农村劳动力迁移的重要影响因素之一。

Based on 685 questionnaires on peasant households in Tongcheng County of Hubei Province and the statistical data of local government,marginalization of arable land and its correlation with rural labor migration in Tongcheng County are studied by using comprehensive index method,clustering analysis method and correlation analysis method. Result shows that marginalization of arable land has happened two times in Tongcheng County since the year 1985. Dry land has severer marginalization degree than paddy field. There is correlation between Marginalization degree of arable land and rural labor migration; and the correlation between marginalization degree and rural labor migration in paddy field is greater than that in dry land. Marginalization of arable land is one of the important factors affecting the labor migration in rural areas.
