- Abstract:

Land circulation not only promotes the large-scale operation of land, but also leads to the differentiation of farmers’ livelihood capital, which affects the choice of farmers’ livelihood strategy. This paper builds a seven-dimensional livelihood capital quantitative indicator system which include natural capital, human capital, material capital, financial capital, social capital, ecological capital and psychological capital. And it is based on 1 600 copies of land transfer questionnaires from five provinces. Using multiple logit models to empirically analyze the characteristics of the seven major livelihood capital differentiation and their impacts on farmers’ livelihood strategies. The results show that: (1) After the land is transferred out, the farmers with different livelihood strategies have different differentiation characteristics in the single livelihood capital index and the total livelihood capital index; (2) Farmers with larger physical capital and social capital tend to choose pure agricultural livelihood strategies; farmers with larger financial capital tend to choose agricultural part-time livelihood strategies; and besides, farmers with greater natural capital and psychological capital tend to choose non-agricultural and part-time livelihood strategies; moreover, farmers with larger human capital and ecological capital tend to choose non-agricultural livelihood strategies; (3) Different influencing factors have different relative risk ratios for farmers’ livelihood strategy choices. Therefore, the government should encourage some farmers to operate on a large scale, broaden the channels of income increase, promote the land circulation of related farmers, and strengthen vocational skills training for non-agricultural employment farmers.
