The Educated Youth Movement and Mao Zedong's Assumptions on Agriculture,Farmers,and the Countryside

The Educated Youth Movement was a widely influential socio-political movement in China in the 20th century. Sociologically and historically, the motivation behind it was to solve the problem of employment for young people and it was closely associated with Mao Zedong's assumptions on agriculture, farmers, and the countryside (AFC), i.e. that the countryside had plenty of scope for initiative, that the labour force of farmers was capable of absorbing great numbers of people, and that agriculture was an important way out of the employment problem. Following these assumptions, the countryside-oriented employment policy was made and carried out in the form of social movement. Mao Zedong, it is argued, approached the problem of employment for young people, mainly out of political, rather than economic, considerations.
