摘要：

In this article, risk-aversion promotes rural enterprises formation contrasting with the theoretical motivations of new entrepreneurs. Rather than risk seeking, rural entrepreneurs are risk-averse, and instead of opportunities, the operators seek livelihood insurance. This finding indicates the value of insurance penetration in the rural areas.
