论农民工在金融危机下的弹性就业应对机制

The Flexible Response of Rural Migrant Workers in Financial Crisis

从长时段的生命历程来看,农民工会依循年龄的层级不断变换工种,直至最后回村务农,这意味着村庄在同一时间点通过农民的年龄分层构成了并存的"外出流"与"返乡流"。在宏观经济下行时,年龄处于返乡期的农民工提前回村,而当经济回暖时,他们中的一部分又会到城市寻找工作。在以"年"为单位的时间循环中,不同年龄段的村民通过土地使用权的流转形成了动态的分工,乡村社会呈现出富有弹性的就业格局,从而在经济波动中具备了一定的承受能力。

From the long period of life course,migrant workers will change their jobs with age until they return home to be farmers.It means that in a certain time there are ＂out flow＂ and ＂in flow＂ of labor force in rural community because of the age stratification.And the middle-aged migrant workers will return home ahead of the schedule in economic recession,while in economic expansion,some of them will look for work again in the city.What s more,in the time recycle unit of year,villagers in different ages formed a dynamic division of labor through the land mobility system.As a result,an elastic employment pattern has been established in rural community which can thus possess certain flexibility in economic fluctuation.A further analysis indicate that,the contemporary rural land system known as ＂unified management combined with independent management is the premise of the above-mentioned elastic coping mechanism.
