In the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, General Secretary Xi emphasized "vigorously promoting the construction of a livable, workable and beautiful countryside", so that people in rural areas can live a modern life locally, and all kinds of innovative and entrepreneurial groups returning to their hometowns are the main force and the driving force of rural development. Meanwhile, with the support of rural revitalization strategy, more and more new farmers are actively engaged in the big wave of returning to their hometowns to start their own businesses. The paper focuses on whether social insurance helps to increase the willingness of new farmers to return to their hometowns and the influence path of different types of insurance in the decision of new farmers to return to their hometowns.
Based on expected utility theory, this paper proposes that social insurance stimulates new farmers' enthusiasm to return to their hometown through the risk incentive effect as well as the income difference mitigation effect in new farmers' decision to return to their hometown to start a business. Based on the 2018 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey data, a binary logit model is used to test the IV Probit model using the regional participation rate of each province as an instrumental variable, robustness testing using the Probit model and a reduced sample, and financial assets and household income as mediating variables to analyze the influence mechanism between social insurance and new farmers' entrepreneurial decision, which verifies the the proposed theoretical hypothesis.
The results show that there is a risk-incentive effect and an income-difference-mitigating effect of social insurance participation in the decision-making process of new farmers' entrepreneurship in their hometowns, which can enhance the propensity of new farmers to choose entrepreneurship. Overall, social insurance, commercial insurance and infrastructure all significantly promote new farmers' entrepreneurship, and new farmers who have both social insurance and commercial insurance are more likely to make entrepreneurial decisions. Social insurance can significantly increase new farmers' propensity to start a business by increasing their risk preferences and alleviating financing constraints. A disordered multinomial Logit model was used to investigate the effect of social insurance and commercial insurance participation on opportunity-based versus survival-based entrepreneurship, and it was found that the higher the participation of new farmers in social insurance compared to being employed, the more likely they were to choose opportunity-based entrepreneurship and the less likely they were to choose survival-based entrepreneurship; commercial insurance significantly promoted the shift of new farmers to opportunity-based and survival-based entrepreneurship. Social insurance has a significant positive promotion effect on new farmers' entrepreneurship in the east, central and west regions, and the promotion effect of social insurance is greater in the west than in the east and central regions. New farmers' decision to return to their hometowns is also influenced by the level of rural infrastructure supply, and subsistence-oriented infrastructure has a greater effect on new farmers' return to their hometowns than production-oriented infrastructure.
Finally, the following suggestions are made in combination with the empirical results: the government should broaden the social insurance coverage, improve social insurance protection, give full play to the auxiliary function of commercial insurance in basic social insurance, and build a new pattern of social security system. The government should also promote more social subjects to return to their hometown and start their own business.
