Since 2003, China’s labor market has faced two simultaneous crises: a rural labor surplus and a severe shortage of migrant labor. Using data from the 2000 China Health and Nutrition Survey questionnaire, which covers 288 villages in 36 counties, this chapter seeks a solution to this dual dilemma. Specifically, multinomial logit, Mincer-type, and probit models are applied to examine the effect of educational levels on the employment choices of rural laborers and on the wages and the employment status of migrants. Based on the results of our analysis, we propose a policy to increase the educational levels of rural dwellers, along with initiatives to eliminate all artificial barriers so as to facilitate the migration of rural laborers.
