Particularity of agricultural labor force

Agricultural labor force is mainly invested in agricultural production. Because agricultural production is different from other production departments, the use of agricultural labor-the particularity of agricultural labor, has the following aspects.

seasonal

(1) The agricultural labor force has strong seasonality in time. Because the fundamental feature of agricultural production is that natural reproduction and economic reproduction are intertwined, human labor must follow the law of biological growth and development. At different stages of biological growth and development, the demand for human labor is different. People should put into labor in stages according to the requirements of the natural growth law of the production object itself, otherwise it will delay the farming season and affect production. This has caused great differences in the items, quantity and intensity of agricultural labor in different seasons, resulting in the seasonal characteristics of agricultural labor.

Decentralization and regionality

(2) Agricultural labor force has spatial dispersion and regionality. Agricultural production is deeply restricted by natural conditions. Due to different natural conditions, different regions can only operate production projects suitable for local natural conditions. Due to the regional differences in suitable conditions and the fixed spatial position, the agricultural labor force has to be dispersed in a vast space, showing greater dispersion and regionality.

Majority of diversity

(3) The diversity of agricultural labor content is mostly. Agricultural labor is not as meticulous as industrial production, and it is impossible for a laborer to do the same kind of work all the year round. Agricultural development should take the road of combining specialized production with diversified management. Agricultural production includes many production departments and projects. Even the same production project needs different technical measures and operation methods at different stages of the whole production process to diversify agricultural labor. In society, most people are engaged in agricultural labor.

Final certainty and instability

(4) the final certainty and instability of agricultural labor results. The cycle of agricultural production is relatively long, and each production cycle is composed of many intermittent labor processes. Generally, every labor process does not directly form the final product, and only after the end of the whole production cycle can the final results of agricultural labor be reflected. However, all agricultural labor processes are interrelated, and the quality of the last labor process has a great influence on the quality or effect of the next labor process, thus affecting the final production result and even the next production cycle. In addition, agricultural production is highly dependent on natural conditions, which makes the final result or income of agricultural labor unstable.

The characteristics of agricultural labor will change with the progress of agricultural science and technology and the continuous improvement of the socialization of agricultural production. In order to make full and reasonable use of agricultural labor resources, we must adapt to the characteristics of agricultural labor force, thus helping to determine the correct way and take corresponding measures to continuously improve the utilization rate and productivity of agricultural labor force and develop agricultural production.
