The transfer of rural labor to urban and non-agricultural sectors has made significant contributions to China's economic and social development, but the long-term and sustained transfer of a large number of high-quality agricultural labor has led to a withdrawal effect that is destroying the foundation of rural revitalization.
This article first analyzes the practical characteristics of the withdrawal effect of rural labor transfer, and a large amount of survey data shows the impact of rural labor transfer on farmers' life and ideological concepts, as well as the dislocation of urban-rural factor circulation. Then, the negative impacts brought by the rural labor transfer were analyzed: 1. The disorder of farmers' life restricts the virtuous circulation of rural industry revitalization and people's livelihood improvement. 2. The chain impact of agricultural and rural workers fleeing leads to the shortage of rural talents and intermittent farming. 3. The misplacement of urban-rural factor circulation induces a inefficient land use and capital exploitation. Finally, the article provides countermeasures and suggestions to crack the withdrawal effect and promote rural revitalization: 1. Focus on industrial revitalization and improving people's livelihoods, and accelerate the return of farmers to live and work in peace and contentment. 2. Focus on talent cultivation and compensation improvement, and enhance the recognition of the status and value of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. 3. Focus on land transfer and capital circulation, and build areas where rural elements are stored and protected.
