- Abstract
Based on the relevant theoretical analysis, the impact of feminization of agriculture on the outsourcing of agricultural machinery service, and its mechanism were analyzed by using China Labor-force Dynamics Survey (CLDS) 2016 data via ordinary least square (OLS), two stage least square (2SLS), generalized method of moments (GMM). It was shown that the deepening of feminization of agriculture would promote farmers to choose outsourcing of agricultural machinery service. When the household was youth or middle-aged, and the village was in the western or central region, with education level of primary school or below, feminization of agriculture had more significant impact on the outsourcing of agricultural machinery services. Feminization of agriculture affected farmers’ choice on outsourcing of agricultural machinery services by expanding agricultural labor constraints and increasing the opportunity cost of agricultural labor. Thus, it was suggested to strengthen the investment in skills capital of female agricultural labor, promote the development of agricultural machinery cooperatives, to alleviate agricultural labor constraints, and convert opportunity costs into development dividends.
