“…An overwhelming trend requiring emphasis is ageing. Scholars considered that China has reached the Lewis turning point and has become an ageing society [41]. Statistics showed that 20% to 33% of individuals will be aged 65 years or older by 2050 [42].…”

Private sector participation in the healthcare market via public-private partnership (PPP) could be considered an available approach to narrow down the medical resource gap and improve the operational efficiency of healthcare facilities. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the influence and relative importance among critical factors for the intention and behaviour of the private sector towards participation in Chinese healthcare market (CHM) via PPP. We defined five hypotheses from previous literature and built a theoretical model based on modified theory of planned behaviour. Then, covariance-based structural equation modelling was applied to analyse the questionnaires provided by 248 respondents from construction companies, real estate developers, pharmaceutical companies, private hospitals, asset management companies, and medical industry property investment companies in China. Results indicated that attitude towards behaviour (β = 0.466, P<0.001), subjective norm (β = 0.167, P<0.05), perceived behavioural control (β = 0.231, P<0.01), and facilitating conditions (β = 0.305, P<0.001) are positively significant to behavioural intention; behavioural intention also shows a strong linkage with behaviour (β = 0.931, P<0.001). Findings provide reference for governments and public authorities to exert additional efforts in implementing appropriate measures that will stimulate the private sector’s motivation to participate in CHM via PPP.

“…En consecuencia, la excesiva mano de obra de jornaleros agrícolas puede ocasionar una disminución de la productividad agrícola. Esto sería consistente con lo reportado por Kwan et al (2018) quien evidenció que una adecuada gestión de programas que potencien un bienestar en trabajadores agrícolas puede incidir positivamente en la reducción de mano de obra excesiva del sector primario para ser canalizada a sectores más especializados y alcanzar un crecimiento bajo el modelo de Lewis. Por su parte Giannakis & Bruggeman (2018) mencionan que un factor determinante para potenciar la productividad laboral en los sistemas agrícolas es el fomento de las capacidades y habilidades de los agricultores.…”

“…El modelo de Lewis planeó que el crecimiento y la distribución del ingreso mejoraría con la transferencia de los excedentes de mano de obra del sector agrícola al sector industrial. Sin embargo, en países en vías de desarrollo aún son pocas las evidencias de resultados favorables en este aspecto (Kwan et al, 2018;Diao et al, 2017). Por otra parte, el modelo de Kuznets (1955) estableció que para propiciar un crecimiento económico/social además de buscar un traslado de la mano de obra del sector agrícola al sector industrial sería fundamental generar información sobre las características personales de los seres humanos como productores y actores de la economía para así comprender sus necesidades y su comportamiento.…”

This paper reports an analysis of the behavior and perception of migrant agricultural workers in relation to central human capacities. Seven dimensions of analysis were aligned to the human central capabilities proposed by Nussbaum. The results showed that physical health and emotions infringe human development of workers. The capabilities of practical reason, affiliation and control over the environment showed discrimination and social segregation. The results provide evidence on the quality of life and general welfare situation of migrant farm workers from a perspective for human development.

“…Our results show that theories of economic growth were used to understand impacts of these changes on the labor market in both developed and developing countries, but special attention has been paid to countries facing rapid structural changes, such as demographic changes, industrialization, and urbanization. For example, the Lewis Model was used to evaluate surplus rural labor in China and estimate when the rural labor market will reach the turning point (e.g., labor shortage) (Kwan et al 2018). Labor shortage is identified as an important limitation to development of the agricultural sector worldwide (Nelson 2011;Nettle 2018).…”

Work is a central concern for sustainable farming systems and rural communities, especially regarding specific issues of the agricultural sector, as the strong decrease in rural employment and the less attractive working conditions. Many articles covering diverse related topics have been published. However, the few studies analyzing the state of worldwide scientific research on work in agriculture give only a fragmented view, since they focus on specialized topics and disciplines. To fill this knowledge gap, the aim of this study was to review the state of research on work in agriculture addressed by the scientific literature, through a bibliometric analysis by country, institution, journal, author, and keywords. Our main finds are that (1) work in agriculture issues is divided into six main research domains: occupational health and safety, labor market and rural employment, labor and farm sustainability, work organization, agricultural policy and agrarian changes, and labor and family farms; (2) these research domains are analyzed by five scientific communities: ergonomics, agricultural economics, livestock farming systems, rural sociology, and agricultural policy; (3) the reference authors, most-cited articles, and main journals were identified for each scientific community; (4) USA, France, and China arise as leaders in the scientific landscape. We show for the first time the characteristics of the main scientific communities worldwide that have performed the most relevant research related to work in agriculture over the past 10 years. This review provides a benchmark for future research on agricultural work-related topics and encourages collaborations between researchers from different scientific communities for interdisciplinary innovation, which support sustainable working conditions in agriculture.
