Objectives: The “push-pull theory” analyzes the dynamic mechanism of the cross-border flow of labor force, and explains that the flow of labor force between countries is generated by the combined action of “push” and “pull”. Tobacco has always been an important cash crop in China, providing a lot of financial support for the rapid development of China’s economy. Tobacco production is the premise of the development of tobacco industry. The shortage of tobacco planting labor force and the decline of quality restrict the tobacco production and the development of the tobacco industry. Based on the “push-pull theory”, the researcher focuses on the survey data of the rural labor force of a specific Labor Cooperation Company. This paper clarified the current situation and transfer characteristics of rural labor force in tobacco areas, discussed the impact of labor force transfer on flue-cured tobacco production, and put forward the strategies to solve the dilemma of rural labor force transfer in tobacco areas.Therefore, the suggestion of taking the city as the center and form a network of migrant workers to enhance the sense of belonging of them is proposed.

The Impact

Objectives: As the world’s largest tobacco producer and seller, China’s rapid development of the tobacco industry is inextricably linked to the promotion and support of the manufacturing industry. The optimization and adjustment of the manufacturing structure (MS) is critical in determining the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. This study examines the impact of technological innovation and market size on MS optimization in China using provincial data from 2001 to 2016. We obtain the following main results. First, market size and technological innovation are important drivers in optimizing MS. Technological innovation increases productivity and results in the redistribution of production factors across industrial sectors, altering the industrial structure. The market size facilitates labor division, which boosts productivity. Second, institutional innovation is critical for optimizing MS. It strengthens the impact of technological innovation and market size on MS rationalization. Furthermore, the study’s findings are robust to a variety of estimation techniques, several alternative proxies for core explanatory variables, and a long list of control variables. An important implication of the study’s findings is that the Chinese government should implement effective institutional reforms to accelerate China’s manufacturing industry’s development. China’s tobacco industry, in particular, will achieve higher quality development based on the transformation and upgrading of the overall manufacturing industry.

The Impact

In December 2010, Qatar won the rights to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The announcement came with increasing pressure from international human rights organizations, media and other groups for Qatar to reform its labor laws, which governs the lives and working conditions of foreign workers in the country. Although Qatar continues to develop and implement major reforms to its labor laws, until now there was no one unique tool based on survey data to evaluate the impact of the government’s policies on guest workers. The objective of this paper is to present the Qatar Guest Workers’ Welfare Index (GWWI), a multi-dimensional comprehensive tool based on survey data of migrant workers developed by the Social and Economic Survey Research Institute (SESRI). In addition to assessing and tracking the welfare of this population, the objective of the index is to identify areas of improvement to guide policy formulation.
