Transnational Rural Labor Force from Shandong Province Working in Japan and Korea Min Zheng α , Joy Tio σ & Thelma D. Palaoag ρ Abstract- To study the situation and influencing factors of Chinese rural labor force working abroad is not only conducive to relieving the employment pressure of China's labor market, but also conducive to adjusting the domestic economic structure and laying the foundation for China's "going out" strategy. The researchers focus on the survey data of the rural labor force of Shandong Labor Cooperation Company. Firstly, we make statistical analysis on the individual characteristics and the situation of migrant workers. Secondly, through the interactive analysis of the individual characteristics of rural labor force and the situation working abroad, it is found that there are differences in the length of time going abroad, the country of work, the place of work, the type of work, the income and the willingness to return to Japan and South Korea of Shandong Province with different gender, age, native place and education level. Thirdly, we construct OLS regression model to analyze the influencing factors of rural labor force's income. Finally, based on the research findings, we put forward some policy suggestions to promote the labor force to work abroad. Keywords: transnational flow of labor force, working in Japan and South Korea, working income, OLS regression model. I. I ntroduction a) Background and Motivation conomic globalization has made possible the realization of a global village. This global village is composed of countries with their own characteristics and advantages in information, industry, service, labor and other aspects. With the deepening of specialized division of labor, each country can make achievements in its own industries and deepen the contact and cooperation between countries. Capital, raw materials, science and technology, commodities and other factors of production flow around the world, so that each country can give full play to its own advantages and greatly improve the production efficiency and commodity quality. Among the factors of production, in addition to capital, raw materials, science and technology, commodities, there is also a very important factor of production --labor force. The effective allocation of labor force in the world is one of the important signs of economic globalization. The role of labor resources in economic development is more important in countries characterized by an aging Author α : Linyi University, Linyi, Shandong, P.R.

Countries with sufficient labor can transfer surplus labor to countries with scarce labor, which will develop rapidly in a win-win manner. According to the world migration report of 2018, the number of global migrants has reached 244 million, accounting for 3.3% of the global population, which is equivalent to one in every 30 people (World Migration Report, 2018). Developing countries are the main sources of international labor. Economic globalization, income gap, demographic changes, violent conflicts and other factors will urge people to seek work and life in areas with higher income and better environment. The flow of labor in the international market can not only optimize the allocation of global labor force, but also benefit the economic development of various countries (Moses, J.2006). At present, the transnational flow of labor has increasingly become one of the focus of government agencies and researchers in China. China's labor resources are relatively rich. According to the data of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, there are about 14 million new labor forces in China every year, and 150 million rich labor forces need to be transferred in rural areas. The urban flow of labor cannot completely solve the problem of labor supply and demand. The employment problem brought by the surplus labor force is not conducive to the economic development and social stability of our country. The expansion of international labor demand provides a new opportunity to effectively solve the problem of domestic surplus labor. However, China's labor force only accounts for 2% of the international labor market, which is far from the scale of China's labor force, which accounts for 20% of the world's labor force. The level of cross-border labor flow in China needs to be improved (Sun Z, 2014). Study on the situation of Chinese labor force working abroad and influencing factors is not only conducive to easing the employment pressure of China's labor market and increasing the income level of migrant workers, but also conducive to adjusting the domestic economic structure and laying the foundation for China's "going out" strategy. The export of labor services in Shandong Province has gradually become an important part of the regional foreign economic cooperation, and has made positive contributions to the implementation of the "going out" strategy.
