Abstract:

Based on 426 peasant household questionnaire data in Puding County in China, we analyzed the factors influencing household income by using stepwise method under a multiple regression model. The results are presented as follows. 1) Education has significant positive influence on household income. The farmers receiving higher education prefer higher income occupations, which affects the household income level. 2) The proportion of assets operating income has positive effect on household income. Farmers' assets operating income is mainly from business and also from farmland and woodland renting. 3) The increase of the proportion of policy income reflects the weakening of farmers' comprehensive production capacity. Therefore, the policy income has negative effect on household income. 4) Productive expenditure has significant positive effect on household income, which shows that agriculture is still the important source of household income. Moreover, accessing internet has a certain effect on increasing household income.
