What is the rural labor market?
(1) The meaning of labor market

The labor market refers to the place where the market mechanism is used to adjust the relationship between labor supply and demand, guide the rational flow of labor, and realize the rational allocation of labor in various social and economic fields. Broadly speaking, the labor market includes labor contract, employment, wage distribution, social security, labor legislation, vocational training, vocational consultation, occupational safety and health, and protection of special workers. In a narrow sense, the labor market only refers to the two-way choice of labor supply and demand and the place of labor exchange.

(2) The development of rural labor market in China.

The rural labor market in China is booming. The transfer of rural surplus labor force in China has increased farmers' income, reduced the pressure on rural land, brought funds, technology, ideas and talents back to the countryside, and prospered the rural market. According to statistics, in 20 10, there were 230 million migrant workers in China, and1500,000 migrant workers went out to work. At the same time, a large number of rural laborers poured into cities and towns to work and do business, and urban residents also entered the countryside to engage in the cultivation, processing and sales of high-yield, high-quality and efficient agricultural products, which brought advanced technology, market management experience and industrial base to the countryside and greatly improved the rural economic environment. This undoubtedly brings business opportunities for the development of rural labor market. (3) Characteristics of rural labor market

① The demand of rural labor market. At present, cities in China can provide limited employment opportunities, which increases the difficulty of farmers' work. In towns below the county level, the development of the tertiary industry is seriously lagging behind, which is not only small in total and proportion, but also unreasonable in structure, low in specialization and socialization, and limited in its ability to absorb rural surplus labor. Coupled with the scattered layout of township enterprises, the level of urbanization has been greatly affected, and the ability to absorb rural surplus labor has been seriously weakened.

② Supply of rural labor market. The supply level of rural labor market mainly depends on the quality of farmers. At present, the overall quality of farmers in China is still low, and this labor supply situation not only restricts the scale and speed of farmers' outflow, but also restricts the improvement of farmers' job-changing level. On the contrary, employers are increasingly demanding the cultural skills and quality of migrant workers. The education level and skill level of most farmers can't meet the needs of the labor market, the upgrading of industrial structure and the development of emerging industries.

③ Construction of rural labor market. First, laws and regulations have been gradually improved. The development of the labor market has promoted the improvement of the labor market and related laws and regulations. In recent years, China has successively promulgated the Labor Contract Law, the Employment Promotion Law and other laws, and revised the Regulations on the Management of the Talent Market. Further clarify the functions of the labor market, the functions of government management departments and the operating rules of employees, and provide protection for the development of the labor market from the legal level. Second, the information is not smooth. The rural labor information network is not perfect, the information networks of counties, townships, provinces and cities and the national labor market have not been effectively connected, and other media such as radio and television have not released employment information in a timely, accurate and transparent manner. Third, the development level of intermediary organizations is low. Farmers mainly rely on the "three-edge" relationship of "blood relationship, popularity and geography", that is, family guidance, introduction from relatives and friends, local people going out to demonstrate, and going out to the world by themselves, but the proportion of export through government labor departments or intermediaries is not large. Fourth, management services lag behind. Some local governments lack an understanding of the rural labor resources and employment situation in this region, and have no good grasp of what jobs and how much they need in the labor market, so it is difficult to organize and guide farmers' employment. There is also a lack of employment inspection before labor export and tracking service management after labor import.
