Abstract:Nowadays in the rural areas of China, peasants can make their own choices to go to the city for a new job or stay in the rural area. A decision is made based on working ability and the information a peasant gets. A multivariate evolutionary model of this problem is established and the numerical simulation shows that going to the city brings about a rise in the peasants' income, and also that such a rise, as well as the number of peasants going to the city, is influenced by the capacity of the cities and income gap between agricultural and non-agricultural industries.
