Abstract

The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, located in wester n China, faces the problems of rural surplus made effor ts to resolve these problems by promoting the growth of secondary and tertiary industries in the region.<br>The purpose of this is to confirm whether this promotion by the government has helped rectify problems relating to excess labor and agricultural productivity in Xinjiang; it does so by estimating changes in the share of labor in agriculture in 1980–2010. The estimation results show that agriculture’s share of the overall labor force increased from 11.9% in 1980–1999 to 19.2% in 2000–2010 and it was found that the government’s promotion helped increase farmers’ incomes after 2000.
