Some labors in non-agricultural sector might change their jobs and migrate to agricultural sector. These kind of labors are called as returning migrants when they are compared to labors who migrated from agricultural sector to non-agricultural sector.
The objectives of this study are to analyse returning migrants’ job choices and operation aspiration. The sample surveyed 125 persons who migrated to agricultural sector after the Asia’s Financial Crisis in 1998.
The framework of agricultural returning migrants’ job matching was built up by a polynomial logic function based on random utility model. Morever, this study adopted the ordered probit model to analyse the returning migrants’ operation aspiration, which affecting factors included job matching choices and other variables.
Estimation results of the empirical models, included job matching and operation aspiration, are as follows：
1.Regarding industry choices, 41.6% of the agricultural returning migrants in the sample choiced “agronomy”. In choosing activity, 51.2% of them choiced to do “own-enterprise”. The industry choices were influenced by individual’s evaluation for their job’s characteristics, individual characteristics, and the family background. But the influence degrees on odds ratio among industry choices are different respectively. The affecting factors of activity choices are：“whether their job’s characteristics have attractions for them”, “whether they own the key technology of operation”, individual’s factors such as “years”, “education”, “whether they still seek the non-agricultural employment information”, “residential areas” and the family background factors such as “reliers in family”.
2.56% of the agricultural returning migrants in the sample will keep on operating in agricultural sector. This show that agricultural sector can not only view as “buffer for the employment” any more.In the operation aspiration model, the variables of “individual’s evaluation for their job’s characteristics” are major influential factors. The effects of industry choices on operation aspiration are significant, but activity choices are not. Besides those factors, returning migrants’ operation aspiration are also significantly effected by other factors, such as “individual’s evaluation for their job’s characteristics”, individual characteristics for example“returning years”, “whether they still seek non-agricultural employment information”, “residential areas ” and family background：“reliers in family”.
