“…Therefore, migrant farmers' opportunity costs are reduced, and they can work and live in cities with equanimity, realizing the full migration of labor (Fergusson, 2013). As the rural labor continues to fully migrate from the agriculture sector with low marginal labor productivity to the urban nonagricultural sector, the two sectors' marginal labor productivity eventually becomes equal, thus reducing the urban-rural income disparity and promoting urban-rural integrated development (Harris & Todaro, 1970;Yang et al, 2020). It can be seen that the legal land transfer rights affect income distribution, which can help reduce the income disparity between urban and rural areas.…”

Legal land transfer rights are the core of farmers' land property rights. This paper examines the urban-rural income distribution effect of legal land transfer rights, revealing the reasons and mechanisms for legal land transfer rights to reduce the urban-rural income disparity. Theoretical analysis shows that granting farmers legal land transfer rights and enhancing the protection of land transfer rights can help promote rural labor migration, thereby reducing the urban-rural income disparity. This study uses panel data of prefecture-level and above cities in China from 1999 to 2008 to examine the implementation of China's Rural Land Contracting Law in 2003 as a quasi-natural experiment to construct a difference-in-differences (DID) model for the empirical test. The findings reveal that legal land transfer rights can effectively promote rural labor migration and reduce the urban-rural income disparity due to labor migration. This paper's analysis provides a perspective for understanding the integrated development of urban and rural areas in developing countries. It indicates that guaranteeing farmers' land transfer rights is important for reducing urban-rural income disparity, leading to urban-rural integrated development.

“…[ 52 , 53 , 54 ]. The land transfer system helps farmers break the self-sufficiency mode of production and management [ 55 ], participate in social production and division of labor on a larger scale, accept new urban ideas and concepts and lower the “social threshold” for rural labor to transfer to urban employment.…”

Agricultural scale operations and industrialization promote the transfer of the rural labor force to the industry sector, and the non-farm employment of farmers plays a great role in increasing their income and reducing poverty. It is of great significance to explore the non-farm employment of farmers for the governance of relative poverty and the achievement of common prosperity. The propensity score matching (PSM) and generalized propensity score matching (GPSM) were used to analyze the impact of rural land transfer on farm households’ non-farm employment. According to the PSM estimation, compared to the farmers’ land not transferred, the rural land transfer significantly increased the proportion of non-farm employment personnel in farm households and the months of per year non-farm employment per person. The total land transfer, paddy land transfer and dry land transfer could significantly increase the proportion of non-farm employment personnel in farm households by 0.074, 0.029 and 0.085 units, respectively, and could significantly increase the months of per year non-farm employment per person by 0.604, 0.394 and 0.617 units, respectively. According to the GPSM estimation, different types of rural land transfer areas have significant positive effects on the proportion of non-farm workers and the months of per year non-farm employment per person, and show an obvious increasing trend of returns to scale, that is, the proportion of non-farm workers and the months of per year non-farm employment per person of farmers are higher than the increase in rural land transfer area. Additionally, the return to scale effect of dry land transfer area is more obvious. In order to raise the income of farm households and narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, the land transfer system can be further improved, urbanization with the county town as an important carrier can be vigorously promoted, the participation of farm households in non-farm employment in the local area can be promoted and the support policy system for non-farm employment of rural labor force can be improved.
