abstract: 'Purpose - The paper aims to discuss whether the younger generation of
China''s rural labor force is prepared, in terms of education level or
labor quality, for the future labor markets under China''s industrial
upgrading.
Design/methodology/approach - Using nationally representative survey
data, the paper gives detailed discussions on the young rural laborers''
education attainments, and their off-farm employment status including
job patterns, working hours, and hourly wage rates. The relationship
between education and employment status is analyzed and tested. Through
these discussions, an employment challenge is revealed, and some policy
implications are made.
Findings - This paper finds that China''s young rural laborers are
generally poorly educated and mainly unskilled. They work long hours and
are low paid. While they lack the labor quality that will be required to
meet the industrial upgrading, an employment challenge may face them in
the near future. This paper also finds a strong link between education
levels and employment status for the young labor force, which implies
the possible effect of policies such as improving rural education.
Originality/value - Based on a solid foundation of a national rural
household survey, this paper updates the understanding of the education
and employment situations of the young rural labor force in contemporary
China. The concern about the employment challenges raised in the paper
is related to the future of China''s rural labor transition and the whole
economy.'
