Abstract: Land right confirmation provides legal protection for farmers’ land, thus contributing to the transformation of farmers into citizens. Using the China Rural Household Panel Survey data from 2013 to 2019 and a staggered DID model, this study empirically examines the impact of land right confirmation on farmers’ urbanization. The results show that land right confirmation will improve farmers’ urbanization behavior by promoting off-farm employment, and this effect is more obvious in non-major grain-producing areas and in provinces with net population inflow. Land right confirmation also enhances farmers’ willingness to become urban residents, and this effect is more prominent in households that are fully registered as farmers. In the future, measures should be taken according to local conditions to eliminate the worries of urban farmers about losing their land. The government should also adopt policies tailored to individual households to open a green channel for rural residents to settle down in cities.
