Deviation of Central Town, Livelihood Strategies and Household Income Mobility : Based on the Sampling Survey of Rural Households in Liangshan Yi Region
Based on the “structure-behavior” coupling paradigm, the concept of the deviation of central town is proposed to describe the“geography-market” distance between farm households and regional central towns. Using the survey data of 2115 poverty-alleviation farm households in Liangshan Yi Region, this paper discusses the impact of the deviation of central town on farm households’ livelihood strategies. The results show that the livelihood strategies of Yi farmers have the characteristics of spatial differentiation, the farmers with low deviation degree have more kinetic energy for urban work, and the farmers with high deviation degree have a strong willingness to integrate into rural industry. The impact of deviation degree of central town on livelihood strate-gies is conducted through information effect to a certain extent, and is restricted by rural infrastructure and public service quality. The structure of family labor force and the policy of filing and supporting also have a moderating effect on the above effects. Further analysis shows that the deviation of central town and its livelihood strategies are also related to farmers’ income mobility. Farmers with low deviation degree often choose to work in cities which is conducive to their income upward. The above analysis provides research inspiration for guiding farmers to optimize livelihood strategies, integrate into rural industrial revitalization and urban and rural economic cycle, realize effective linkage between poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, and promote common prosperity in the new development stage
