【摘要】 非农自雇佣是农村劳动力就业的重要选择，其在改善家庭福利、缩小城乡收入差距等方面发挥着重要的作用。在当前“大众创业、万众创新”的背景下，农村劳动力非农自雇佣被给予了更大的发展空间。然而，鲜有研究就其对农村人力资本的影响开展分析。本文基于中国教育追踪调查数据(CEPS)实证分析农村劳动力非农自雇佣对子女综合认知能力的影响及其作用机制。结果表明，农村劳动力非农自雇佣会显著提升子女的认知能力。通过一系列的稳健性检验，该结论依旧成立。进一步讨论发现，劳动力非农自雇佣对不同性别、认知能力处于不同分位点子女的认知能力均存在显著影响。本文也从多个维度探究该影响背后的机制发现，农村劳动力非农自雇佣意味着更可能增加对子女的教育投资、促进子女学习投入度以及随迁概率的提升。更多还原

【Abstract】 Off-farm self-employment is an important employment choice for rural labor, which plays an important role in improving family welfare and narrowing the urban-rural income gap.Under the current background of “mass entrepreneurship and innovation initiative”,the off-farm self-employment of rural labor is given more room for development.However, few studies have analyzed the relationship between off-farm self-employment and rural human capital.The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the impact of off-farm self-employment of rural labor on children’s comprehensive cognitive abilities and its mechanism based on the China Education Panel(CEPS) data.The results show that off-farm self-employment will significantly improve the children’s cognitive ability.The results are confirmed to be valid through a series of robustness checks.We further find that off-farm self-employment of labor has a significant impact on the cognitive abilities of their children of different gender.This article also explored the mechanism behind the impact from multiple dimensions and found that off-farm self-employment of rural labor means they are more likely to increase children’s educational investment.At the same time, off-farm self-employment of labor will also encourage children to carry out more activities for academic improvement, reduce entertainment time in their leisure time, and increase the probability of migrating with their parents.更多还原
