Abstract:

Based on the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data and endogenous switching Probit (ESP) model, the inhibitory effect of employment by agricultural management organbizations on farmers’ multi-dimensional relative poverty was analyzed under counterfactual framework from the perspective of rural revitalization. It was shown that the employment status(whether employed or not by agricultural management organizations) had a significant (P<0.01) negative effect on the multi-dimensional relative poverty probability. Under the counterfactual assumption, the probability of multi-dimensional relative poverty would be increased by 19.4% if the employed farmers were not employed by agricultural management organizations. Meanwhile,the probability of multi-dimensional relative poverty would be decreased by 6.1% if the unemployed farmers were employed by agricultural management organizations. The overall treatment effect was -0.096, indicating that if farmers were employed by agricultural management organizitions, the probability of multi-dimensional relative poverty would be decreased by 9.6%.From the perspective of group differences, the poverty reduction effect was higher on those with higher education level, higher proportion of household agricultural labor force, or contract signed. Accordingly, countermeasures were put forward inluding encouraging agricultural management organizations to increase employment opportunities, strengthening farmers’ skills training, improving the way of interest connection.

Key words: employment by agricultural business organization, multi-dimensional relative poverty, endogenous switching Probit model
