Abstract
In the 1990's, the labor migration in China has been making a lot of effects on the Chinese soiety. In this paper, by the examples of SiChuan and AnHui provinces where many migration workers are from, we analysied the effects of labor migration from rural aeras on the agriculture and the life of peasants. Our analysis shows that, at present, the labor migration from rural areas has been accelarating the economic development of inland rural area, but it also increases the differe nce in income between emigration farmers and non-emigration farmers, or between the developed areas and the developing areas. If such differece in income would increase more, it can be forecast that people who have high income farmers among those labor migration would abandon agriculture and move their home to urban areas.
