Abstract：Promoting the transformation of fishermen's livelihood based on the non-agricultural employ-ment of rural labor is the top priority of governmental decision-making departments and research com-munity.Based on the three-dimensional framework of buffering-self-organizing-learning constructed based on the theory of"livelihood resilience"and combined with two methods of necessary condition a-nalysis(NCA)and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis(fs/QCA),the key driving conditions,ac-tion paths and differences among Jiangsu Provincial sample locations of non-agricultural employment choices of fishermen were analyzed from a perspective of configuration.(1)A single condition cannot constitute a necessary condition to explain fishermen's non-agricultural employment choices;however,earning ability,especially skill training,plays an important role in non-agricultural employment of fish-ermen.(2)Buffering,self-organization and learning ability are coordinated and concurrent.We ex-plored and proposed three adaptation paths towards promoting non-agricultural employment of fisher-men,namely,the adaptation mode explained by independent learning ability,the joint explanation by learning and self-organization ability.The adaptation model explained by buffering and self-organization ability drives the choice of fishermen's livelihood strategies in the same way.(3)In further comparison between sample districts and counties of Jiangsu Province,it was found that the difference in factor en-dowments makes the development paths of fishermen's non-agricultural employment very different.Based on the advantages of local resources and the characteristics of the fishermen,the government should comprehensively consider the combination of multiple conditions under the overall perspective,and form a diversified realization path for fishermen to shift to employment.
