6.As more and more young workers leave their rural homeland,it is noticeable that the bulk of workforce remaining in the country-side comprises increasingly of women and elderly people.This“feminization of agriculture”was identified in earlier days by Gao Xiaoxian.Those who hold optimistic views emphasize the role and contribution of women in agricultural production and affirm the positive significance of such a fact in the improvement of women’s status.Other researchers point out,however,that lower income from agriculture leads to lower contribution of women,mainly engaged as they are in agriculture production.At the same time,just because agriculture is mainly a feminine job doesn’t mean that women play a leading role in agriculture.“Women work while men command.”Power is still in men’s hands,with women playing the role of an unskilled workforce.What is happening is thus an“agriculturalization”of women rather than a feminization of agriculture.Corresponding to the high percentage of women staying in farm work,those going out include less women than men.Hence the problem of gender choice in migration.Starting from the family as an“interested whole,”some researchers emphasize that gender division of labor is rational.Another view however holds that many of the activities women are engaged in are not assigned them in accordance with the principle of maximization of economic returns,but rather owing to merely cultural conceptions that turn these activities into“female-special”jobs,and the structural constraints determining certain“femalespecial”jobs results in a switch of agriculture from a“male-”to a“female-predominant”pattern.Whenever a certain job yields relatively little,men turn it over to women.With respect to the sluggishness of women’stransfer to nonagricultural jobs,s ome researchers have come up with the concept of a“secondary reservoir,”in the sense that if rural workers can be regarded as a reservoir to meet the need,if any,of society at large for them,rural women serve as a secondary reservoir within the larger one.If transfer and exodus definitely represent access to more resources for development,it can be concluded that in terms of distribution of new resources,women again fare worse than men.
