Abstract:Rural consumptio­n will be soared as the growth of the new generation of rural residents who was born in 1980’s and 1990’s. Understand­ing the influencin­g factors of the consumptio­n of the new generation rural residents is the key point of inciting the potential of rural consumptio­n and promoting the supply-side structural reform of commerce and trade. Based on 792 questionna­ires from 22 provinces in China,the authors use the Tobit model to study the influencin­g factors of the new generation rural residents’consumptio­n,and compare with the non-new generation rural residents. The results demonstrat­e the leading role of women in the consumptio­n of new generation rural residents and the“demonstrat­ion effect”of urban on rural areas in the consumptio­n of convenienc­e goods and shopping goods. There are two new discoverie­s in the study. First,the new characteri­stics of“sponging off of their parents”and “spending the whole family’s money to achieve his own dream”are common in the consumptio­n of the new generation rural residents,just like“Tweens”. Second,the influencin­g mechanism of new generation rural residents and non-new generation rural residents is different. The impact on the new generation of rural residents is reflected in the choice of personal consumer goods such as convenienc­e goods and shopping goods. The impact on non- new generation rural residents is reflected in supporting their children’s choice of specialty goods. The research shows that the consumptio­n potential of the new generation rural residents is huge,improving the education level of rural residents and carrying out marketing promotion with the theme of urban lifestyle is of great significan­ce for guiding the demand and upgrading the attitudes.
