Abstract Based on the micro investigation data, the paper studies farmers’ employment and career choice and the influencing factors,especially stock dividend, under the background of land joint-stock cooperative system by using binary and multinomial probit model. The findings indicate that the stock dividend has negative effect on farmers’ employment. When entitled to stock dividend, middle aged farmers are more inclined not to work than the young people, which means the stock dividend has greater substitution effect to employment in accordance to age growth. Compared with service industry, the stock dividend has negative effect for blue collars while shows no effect on white collars.
