Abstract: The influence mechanism of individual and human capital characteristic, family characteristic and regional characteristic are analysed on the employment situation of rural labor force, and their structural relationship are analysed based on Structural Equation Model, according to the 279 farmers’ survey data in Linchuan District. The results indicate, the individual and human capital characteristic is the primary factor that affects the rural labor force employment, in which the age is the important factor, and education level ranks second position. The influence of family characteristic on rural labor force employment ranks second, in which the area of direct subsidies for grain and cultivated land outflow rate are the most important factors. The regional characteristic is the bottom factor for rural labor force employment. To improve the education level of the rural labor force can ameliorate their employment status fundamentally. To perfect the cultivated land transfer system is an effective way to improve the employment situation of rural labor force. Direct grain subsidy is useful to promote the rural labor force engage in agricultural activities.
