As China develops, the structure of employment in rural areas will change as more farmers find non-farm employment. Unimpeded movement of labor out of agriculture will help China's farmers increase their incomes, cope with income risk from agriculture, and assist overall economic development as China transforms from an agricultural to an industrial economy.

520 $a As China develops, the structure of employment in rural areas will change as more farmers find non-farm employment. Unimpeded movement of labor out of agriculture will help China's farmers increase their incomes, cope with income risk from agriculture, and assist overall economic development as China transforms from an agricultural to an industrial economy.
520 $a Despite the importance of access to non-farm employment for China's farmers and the development of the economy more generally, many scholars believe that there are a variety of policies that discourage farm households from seeking non-farm employment. Others argue that the surge in rural labor market activity over the last 20 years indicates that policies do not discourage farmers from non-farm employment activity.
520 $a This dissertation addresses this debate and looks at two village-level polices that are thought, by some, to discourage working in the non-farm sector: China's unique land management system and grain procurement policy. In this dissertation, I provide a rich description of how these polices work and how they may affect household labor allocation decisions. To bring more rigorous economics to the debate, I develop theoretical models that demonstrate how these two policies may act to discourage farm households from working in the non-farm labor market and generate a set of hypothesis from these models. I then test these hypothesis using standard empirical models of labor market entry, days off-farm and days in agriculture that relate these decisions to a set of explanatory variables and variables that represent key aspects of the two policies. The data used for the empirical section comes from a detailed survey of 722 farm households in Hebei and Liaoning provinces.
520 $a My findings show that the two policies have a significant impact on household labor allocation and employment off-farm in the sample survey. China's land management practices discourage 8--14 percent of farm households from allocating labor to the non-farm labor market. Grain quota delivery obligations also skew labor allocation. Without grain quota delivery obligations, farm households would allocate 20 more days to the labor market and 8 fewer days to agriculture.
