Abstract: The reform of the land contractual management right system and urban-rural integrated development are crucial paths to achieve rural revitalization. Based on the China Household Finance Survey （CHFS） database, this paper investigates the impact of the
right confirmation of land contractual management on the transfer of using the Propensity Score Matching Method. Through the
Mediation Model, the mechanism of the impact of the right confirmation of land contractual management on the transfer of rural labor is explored. The research indicates that the right confirmation of land contractual management will decrease the number of members
engaged in agricultural labor in rural households. The mechanism test reveals that the transfer of land management rights plays an
intermediary role. That is, the right confirmation of land contractual management promotes the transfer of land management rights,
thereby reducing the number of members engaged in agricultural labor in households. Further research discovers that the impact of the right confirmation of land contractual management on the transfer of rural labor is heterogeneous in terms of region, farmland quality, and educational level. Accordingly, policy suggestions are proposed from four aspects, namely, establishing and improving the farmland transfer and transaction market mechanism, making full use of the efficiency of right confirmation according to local conditions,encouraging farmers to learn modern agricultural technologies, and constructing a non-agricultural employment guarantee system.
