摘要

探究家庭劳动力配置和非农就业对耕地撂荒行为的影响机制，对推进耕地保护和保障粮食安全具有重要意义。鉴于此，基于2025年全国15省份786个农户的耕地利用调查数据，运用Logit模型等分析家庭劳动力配置和非农就业对农户耕地撂荒行为的影响。结果表明：①农业劳动力数量增加能显著抑制耕地撂荒，农业劳动力质量提升会加剧耕地撂荒；②非农就业强度和非农收入占比均对撂荒呈显著正向影响；③家庭劳动力配置与非农就业存在交互效应，劳动力质量调节作用显著而劳动力数量的调节作用不显著；④家庭劳动力配置与非农就业对耕地撂荒行为的影响存在异质性。研究发现家庭劳动力配置和非农就业均对耕地撂荒行为有显著影响，且二者存在交互效应及异质性。未来应针对不同农户群体实施差异化治理策略，并根据实际情况精准施策、合理补贴，进一步缓解耕地撂荒。

Abstract

Investigating the impact mechanisms of household labor allocation and non-farm employment on farmland abandonment behavior holds significant implications for advancing farmland protection and ensuring food security. Based on 2025 survey data from 786 rural households across 15 provinces

this study employs Logit models to analyze the effects of labor allocation and non-farm employment on farmland abandonment. The results indicate that increased agricultural labor quantity significantly suppresses farmland abandonment

while improved labor quality exacerbates it; both non-farm employment intensity and non-farm income share exhibit significant positive impacts on abandonment; household labor allocation and non-farm employment demonstrate interaction effects

with labor quality showing significant moderating effects whereas labor quantity shows no significant moderating effect; the influence of labor allocation and non-farm employment on farmland abandonment behavior exhibits heterogeneity. The research indicates that both labor allocation and non-farm employment significantly affect farmland abandonment behavior

with interaction effects and heterogeneity observed. Future strategies should implement differentiated governance approaches tailored to different farmer groups

along with targeted policies and reasonable subsidies based on actual conditions to further alleviate farmland abandonment.
