Labor market is an important and determinant part in the market system as a whole as well as in socialist market. The development of labor market in socialist market system is relatively sluggish because of causes like modes of thought and economic system. To further perfect socialist market economic system, it is urgent to speed up the development of labor market, which is the focus of the thesis.The development of labor market is a natural evolutionary process in the development history of world economy. The labor market of capitalist countries developed under the market economic conditions from the right beginning in the forms of regional and trade individual labor market, then gradually developed into a world labor market system which goes beyond the boundary of region, trade and country. The development is a very long historical process, a natural development process.The configuration of labor forces in China is a dynamic and developmental process in the form of market - planning -market. Old China is semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, whose economy is mainly self-sufficient. In large and medium-sized cities, where a paucity of bureaucrat capital plays the predominant role, it is impossible to develop mature market economy, thus making it impossible to develop advanced labor market.Since the establishment of new China, with the traditional economic system, there does not exit production factors market in China. Naturally, there is no labor market. The configuration of labor forces is administrative planning configuration. Owing to our dogmatic understanding of Marxian economic theory of goods, we equate planning to socialism and market to capitalism. Therefore, in our socialist practice, the development of market is restricted to a very limited range, forcing the underdeveloped labor market to withdraw totally from the market system and making the market of common goods incomplete.The traditional configuration of labor force is in agreement with planned economy, ignoring laborers' freedom of choosing their occupation, depriving enterprises' freedom of recruitment, denying the free flowage of labor forces. The recruitment of an enterprise has to observe the instructive planning and cannot be adjusted according to the demand of production. With the absence of withdrawal mechanism, redundant employees and low efficiency of production is unavoidable.In Decision of Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party on Several Questions of Establishing Socialist Market Economy System of approved in the ThirdPlenary Session of the 14th Party Central Committee of Communist Party of China, to establish labor market was explicitly put forward for the first time. The development of labor market in our country begins to be brought to the agenda.The development of labor market in socialist market economy system is a combined process of natural development and the government's cultivation, whose main characteristics is the transition process of planned configuration to market configuration of labor forces, which is also a reconstruction process of systems.The key cause for the poor development of labor market in China is the imperfect market mechanism of government cultivation and the sluggish transition of systems. There exist various barriers aroused by the system in the process of transition from the planned configuration to the market configuration of labor forces. During the period of transition, it will be a dual-structure of planned configuration and market configuration of labor force. Thus, the development of labor market is a process of gradual withdrawal of planned configuration and gradual perfection of market configuration.The research of this thesis is confined to the immature stage of the development of labor market in China, which is the dual-configuration stage.The author holds the view that in the development of labor market in our country, government's organizational function should be brought into full play, the planned configuration of labor forces should be gradually...
