Abstract

This empirical study explores the factors influencing farmers’ decisions to withdraw from homesteads with compensation in the Chengdu–Chongqing area. Based on survey data from rural households, a structural equation model was constructed to investigate the relationships between individual characteristics of farmers, household characteristics, and the characteristics of farmers’ homesteads and their impact on farmers’ employment, life, and income. The results indicate that household characteristics influence farmers’ willingness to quit homestead with compensation, significantly impacting the proportion of non-agricultural employment, stability of non-agricultural employment, agricultural income, and per capita annual income. Furthermore, higher education levels, younger age, and a fondness for urban life also influence farmers’ willingness to withdraw from homesteads. The study highlights the importance of reasonable compensation calculation methods and modes in promoting homestead withdrawal. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers in designing more effective compensation programs and other policies to promote sustainable rural development in the Chengdu–Chongqing area. This study underscores the importance of technology transfer in rural development and highlights the potential of homestead withdrawal policies as a form of technology transfer. The findings have significant theoretical and managerial implications for policymakers to design more effective compensation programs and other policies promoting sustainable rural development in the Chengdu–Chongqing area.
