Abstract
Under the background that China's labor force is decreasing and they can move freely, this paper selects the Spatial Doberman model with time-individual fixed effects to analyze and study the spatial spillover effect and its impact mechanism of the labor agglomeration of 31 provinces in mainland China from 2003 to 2018 on regional economic growth. It was found that in China, the increase in the concentration of labor in a region and surrounding areas can promote economic growth in the region through the increase in marketization and the decline in the dependency ratio. However, the current regional economic growth in China is manifested by the promotion of labor agglomeration in the region and the suppression of labor agglomeration in the surrounding areas.
Highlights
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the main contradiction in the new era has been transformed into a contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development
The unbalanced regional development has become the main contradiction, and the problems caused by the migratory bird migration of the labor force have gradually become prominent
Since the degree of labor agglomeration reflects the degree of agglomeration of the labor population in a region relative to the labor population of the country, it is calculated by using the method of Liu Ruiwen et al to calculate the degree of population agglomeration [18], that is, the proportion of the labor population in the region is compared with the labor population in the country
Summary
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the main contradiction in the new era has been transformed into a contradiction between the people's growing need for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. The unbalanced regional development has become the main contradiction, and the problems caused by the migratory bird migration of the labor force have gradually become prominent. Trying to explore how labor agglomeration affects local and surrounding economic growth under China’s national conditions is of great and far-reaching significance for enabling labor to better serve China’s regional economic growth, promoting the overall rapid economic growth, and achieving the country’s prosperity and strength
