A Study of the Structure of Labor Participation and Changes in China's Rural Population
Journal: Modern Economics & Management Forum DOI: 10.32629/memf.v5i3.2371
Abstract
Based on the analysis of data from the last three national censuses conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics, this paper examines the structure of labor force participation and the trend of change in China. The results show that China's labor force participation rate as a whole has shown a declining trend, and the rate of decline in rural areas is smaller than that in urban areas. This difference reflects the imbalance between urban and rural security levels, and also reveals the phenomenon of a higher proportion of older or senior rural labor force participation in economic activities. The article also explores the main reasons for the decline in the labor participation rate and puts forward corresponding policy recommendations to promote the long-term balanced development of the population and the economy and society.
