中国和S经济快速发展期间的工作转变，与传统农业劳动力在女性中大量但鲜为人知的重新分配有关，有些人做得少得多，有些人做得多得多。本文研究了非移民妇女的工作、时间分配和健康如何受到家庭中其他人向外迁移的影响。分析发现，与其他情况相比，留守妇女从事的农活更多。也有证据表明，这是一种持久的影响，而不仅仅是暂时的重新分配。对于某些类型的女性(特别是老年女性)，劳动力重新分配的反应来自于她们的休闲。
The transformation of work during Chinas rapid economic development is associated with a substantial but little noticed re-allocation of traditional farm labor among women, with some doing much less and some much more. This paper studies how the work, time allocation, and health of non-migrant women are affected by the out-migration of others in their household. The analysis finds that the women left behind are doing more farm work than would have otherwise been the case. There is also evidence that this is a persistent effect, and not just temporary re-allocation. For some types of women (notably older women), the labor re-allocation response comes out of their leisure.
