Abstract:

Abstract: Human capital in China’s rural area was accumulated from so low a starting point that most of the labour force in agriculture get through primary school or middle school only. Meanwhile, subsequent human capital investment is caught in a series of problems. Investment for medical care with labour force in rural area as beneficiary is poor, what makes it worse is that such poor investment has to be heavily focused on medical treatment; little investment on labour training in rural area makes human capital accumulation lag far behind, thus it is more and more difficult for farmers to increase their incomes continuously. Causes that brought human capital status quo come into being are of many aspects. On one hand, government didn’t pay enough attention to the investment on human capital in rural area so that fiscal expenditure on human capital is of small volume; Labour training in rural area itself is a problem. On the other hand, poor income, especially out-dated concepts of farmers discourage them to catch up with the development of the times.
