Abstract: In the context of industrial transfer, the manufacturing industries in the Pearl River Delta are continuously moving into the inland rural areas. The inland-moving enterprises are faced with not only the migrant workers, but also the army of left-behind informal labor force. The priority of the informal labor force is family reproduction and the reproduction of their social relations, which means that their time is fragmented, and the formal factory management system is difficult to restrict them effectively. Based on this, this paper takes the inland-moving factories located at Q township of W county in Jiangxi province as examples to study the practical experience of how the inland-moving manufacturers can effectively manage this army of informal labor force. The findings show that in the aspect of labor recruitment, the inland-moving factories adopt an informal labor employment strategy by relying on the social network of acquaintance for recruiting. In the aspect of labor supervision, the inland-moving factories embed their production activities in the workers' daily lives, which can integrate the workers' fragmented time with their flexible management strategies. In handling the labor disputes, these inland-moving enterprises also utilize the resources of rural governance to resolve the contradictions. To embed the business production into the village community and workers' daily life is the strategy that the inland-moving enterprises used to reduce their management costs, and this kind of embedding management might bring about a new type of labor-capital relationship.

Key words: industrial transfer, inland-moving factories, embedding, informal workforce
