The technological progress has created the enormous substantial strength which speeding up the pace of the construction of Chinese new industrialization and promoting the development of society; Eventually, the irreversible changes of the structure of society and the labor mode have taken place. Meanwhile, it influences the social structure and total quantity of employment. Currently, the employment effects which on the technological progress in theory are not come to terms, particularly on the technological progress to the employment which has double-faced effects. Employment is an essence of the principle of people's livelihood. In light of turning "grim" under the employment situation, this dissertation analyses the employment effects of the technological progress in order to take both of the technological progress and the employment into consideration and adopt the employment promotion countermeasures under the conditions of technological progress.First of all, this dissertation is based on the studies both from home and abroad to select media-related factors, namely the economic-growth factors, demographic factors and educational factors, it analyses the mechanism of technological progress in the perspective of enterprise, industry and macro-society, it aims to find out how the technological progress cooperate with other relevant factors to affect the employment in the society, and the comprehensive influence of the technological mechanism, the economical mechanism and the social mechanism to the employment, building up an theoretical framework of the technological progress-employment effects.Secondly, based on the analysis of the positive and negative factors of employment effects, this dissertation concluded the main reasons of the technological progress to deducing-employment lies in invisible affection of our technological investment on the economical growth and social employment, which reduces its positive role in employment; the disjunction of educational investment and social demand during the industrial structure transformation caused by the technological progress leads that the labor quality and skill could not meet the need of industrial structure transformation, which makes the imbalance of industrial and employment structure. As a result, the problem of unemployment tends to be worse.Thirdly, on the basis of modeling and quantitative analysis, this dissertation probes into the technological progress-employment effects regionally in China, accordingly gets a result that there is a positive correlation between the superposition input of science, technology as well as education and total employment. First, it estimates, amends and checkout the regression model by econometric software, according to the statistics gathered regionally. Meanwhile, it estimates the statistical model of cross-sectional time series based on Panal data; Second, it studies the technological progress-employment space effects according to Theil index decomposition of the amounts of employed population, geographical equilibrium of employed population and local indicators of spatial association of employment rate of provinces by ArcGis and Geoda; Third, it analyzes the effects of scientific and technological education investment on the female employment in China urban units.Finally, the dissertation discusses the technical advancement on the employment strategy in four areas: the balanced development model of technological progress; the rational allocation investment of scientific and technological education; the development of taking account of the regional differences and the improvement social security of the employment.From the point of view of this dissertation, the theoretical framework of the technological progress-employment effects should be analyzed from macro-society level, industries level and enterprises level, while technological progress and employment relationship should take the economic growth, population and education and other related factors into consideration. Due to the vast territory of our country and the large regional differences among regions, we should not only focus on effect which the technological progress to the employment from the overall angle but also different regions of the impact on the employment. What is more, the majority of lay-off and unemployed are women in our country, therefore the effects of technological progress on female employment in urban units is the proposals which could put forward an important basis for the employment promotion countermeasures.
