农村工业化以及人力资本在农村劳动力市场中的角色

农村劳动力市场从多个渠道给教育带来了回报。用Heckman模型估计 ,教育的工资回报在 1 991— 1 997年为 0— 5% ,而且不显著。但是教育显著提高了人们到工业部门工作的机会 ,由此带来的回报在 5%— 7%。教育还提高了人们到高工资部门工作的机会 ,改善了人们的工作方式。

Rural Modernization and the Role of Education in Rural Labor Market

The return to education is composed of, at least, two parts: wage return and job opportunity return. Using Heckman two step model, the return rate of education for those wage earners are not significant, with the point estimate ranging from 0% to 5%. One more year of education, however, increased the probability of being employed by no farm sector, with the return rate amounting to 5~7%. Education also increased the opportunity of being employed by high wage sector within the non farm sector.
