Employment of Rural Households

Abstract

This chapter is to analyze the employment of rural households based on the sample of “rural households living in rural areas”. Compared to the statistics in 2011 and 2013, the proportion of agricultural population decreased in 2015. The proportion of gender in the agricultural population shows “feminization” in agricultural production. Most of the economically active population has only received as far as junior school education, and the education level of nonagricultural population is obviously higher than that of agricultural population. The vast majority of nonagricultural population engaged in temporary work. In rural households, proportions of households engaged in both agricultural and nonagricultural production, only the agricultural production and only the nonagricultural production, respectively, rank the first, second and the third.
