Abstract: Abstract Rural labor transfer has been identified as a key determinant of agricultural economic growth, particularly under the strong national agenda promoting rural and agricultural development. This paper adopts an analytical framework structured around the sequence of “resource allocation – production efficiency enhancement – restructuring of operational returns” to investigate the multifaceted impact of labor migration on agricultural economic development. By deconstructing key mechanisms such as the transformation of production methods, enhancement of production efficiency, and changes in income distribution, the study reveals a dynamic pathway through which labor transfer improves resource utilization via land circulation, and accelerates agricultural mechanization through the feedback effect of non-agricultural income.The findings show that rural labor migration not only alleviates land fragmentation through factor reorganization but also enhances productivity through technology adoption, ultimately forming a positive cycle of “resource optimization – efficiency leap – income multiplication”. In contrast to previous studies that primarily focus on isolated economic variables, this study innovatively integrates the entire causal chain involving factor mobility, efficiency gains, and income restructuring. The analysis offers a novel perspective for understanding regional disparities in agricultural modernization. Moreover, this research substantiates a nonlinear dynamic between labor mobility and agricultural transformation, generating valuable theoretical implications for labor factor liberalization and the strategic refinement of the agricultural industry amid rural revitalization efforts.
