Study on the Work Succession Mechanism of Village-Stationed Cadres in Rural Revitalization: A Field Survey in X County

Abstract

 Since China’s reform and opening up, rural areas have undergone tremendous changes, but there are still some unbalanced and inadequate development problems. To promote rural economic development and social progress, the Chinese government has put forward a series of policies. The system of village-stationed cadres is one of the essential measures. This paper focuses on the work succession mechanism of village-stationed cadres from the perspective of rural revitalization. Through diversified field research methods, the study conducted a comprehensive research on the village-stationed cadre groups as well as other related cadres and villagers in five villages in X County. The study found that the current work succession of cadres faces many problems, which largely affect the sustainable and efficient development of rural revitalization. This paper further analyzes the deep-rooted reasons behind the problems and tries to build a set of sound, reasonable, and feasible work succession mechanisms for village-stationed cadres, aiming to ensure a smooth transition and effective succession of the work. It expects to provide strong support for the steady advancement of rural revitalization at the grassroots level, and to promote the sustainable development of the countryside, to better safeguard the well-being of the peasants.
