| Since the reform and opening-up policy was carried out more than 30 years ago, the Chinese Economy has developed steadily and fast. With the multinational transfer of the manufacturing industry, China has taken part in international division of labor and become a giant manufacturing country. However, the future prospects are not very hopeful. With the increasing pressure from environment, resources and more fierce global competition, to promote industrial upgrading and transformation of economic growth mode has become the only way to ensure the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of Chinese economy.One of the most important changes under economic globalization is the emergence of global value chain specialization. It has become the necessary path for any country, districts to take part in international division of labor. Different country, district should get the value added from different segments of global value chain based on its own characteristics of factor endowments. However, whatever industry, from traditional labor-intensive industry to high-tech industry, the value added in different segments of global value chain is different, which will bring totally different cost-effectiveness.To promote industrial upgrading in one country or district under the global value chain specialization, we must focus not only on proportion of different industries, but also on its status in the global value chain specialization. Only if the status in the global value chain specialization can be promoted and the transfer from the segments of low value added to the segments of high value added can be achieved, can industrial upgrading be attained.Human resources as the carrier of science and technology, its quality not only determines the level of science and technology in one country, but also influences the development of different industry and the realization of social and economic development. Under the global value chain specialization, natural resources and other physical resources just have a limited influence on industrial upgrading. Thus, human resource has become the key to determine the division segment of global value chain. Human resource development is the important factor to improve human resource. To develop human resources effectively will help promote industrial upgrading, raise its status in global value chain specialization and stimulate the healthy and sustainable development of economy.Since the reform and opening-up policy, the secondary industry in China has developed quickly. But until now, Chinese enterprises just take the low segment of the secondary industrial global value chain specialization, such as manual labor and simple mental labor which can add low value. Under economic globalization, china have to depend on its human resources in order to upgrade its secondary industry and promote its status in global value chain specialization if it wants to transform from processing giant to manufacturing, service and creation power. The value of human resources lies not only in its quantity, but also in its quality. The development and improvement of human resources is the elemental drive that promote industrial upgrading and the healthy and sustainable development of economy. Human resources development is the key to realize the industrial upgrading in China under global value chain specialization. To develop the human resources in China, to convert the population pressure to the advantage of human resources can really promote the industrial upgrading and the transformation of economic growth mode from extensive to intensive ways in China.Based on the related theories, the paper is going to discuss the key role of human resources development in promoting the industrial upgrading of China and reveal the relationship between industrial upgrading and human resources from the perspective of the secondary industry by adopting inductive method, deductive method, international comparison and quantitative analysis. The fundamental reasoning of this paper is as following:the influences of the global value chain specialization on industrial upgrading in one country are clearly analyzed based on international industrial upgrading. And the directions of the secondary industrial upgrading in China are discussed from theoretical analysis. And at the same time, the directions and countermeasures of human resources development are listed based on the operating rules of human resources development. Then, based on the correlation analysis of human resources and industrial height, with development demands of China, the present conditions and the future directions of the industrial height in China is analyzed and judged. At last, the requests on the human resources of the secondary industrial upgrading under global value chain are analyzed. And with the analysis of the strategies of human resources development in different countries, some measures and suggestions on human resources development to promote the secondary industrial upgrading in China are provided.The major content of the paper is as follows:Chapter 1:Introduction. In chapter 1, the value of the research of human resources development ways to promote the industrial upgrading in China under global value chain specialization is discussed based on the theoretical and practical background of global value chain specialization and human resources development. And the frame, reasoning and research methods are also included in this chapter.Chapter 2:Review of Human Resources Development in Industrial Upgrading. In chapter 2, the studies of industrial upgrading, human resources development, global value chain and their relationships are reviewed, which is the foundation of the paper.Chapter 3, the Mechanism of Industrial Upgrading And Human Resources Development under Global Value Chain Specialization. Under global value chain specialization, the mechanism between human resources and industrial upgrading is analyzed, which is the foundation to the empirical analysis.Chapter 4:the Correlation Analysis between Industrial Height and Human Resources. In chapter 4, empirical studies are carried out based on the figures of industrial upgrading and human resources of the secondary industry in China. It shows that human resources have obvious impact on industrial height.Chapter 5:the Direction of Industrial Upgrading in China and its Requests of Human Resources under Global Value Chain Specialization. The directions of the secondary inner-industrial upgrading under global value chain specialization are discussed based on the present conditions of industrial upgrading in China. And then the requirements on human resources have been listed from the perspectives of the quantities, age, depth of knowledge, major, different content and levels of abilities, gender and districts.Chapter 6:The Practices of Human Resources Development in Different Countries. In this chapter, the practices of human resources development in different countries such as Japan, South Korea, Taiwan China, Hong Kong China, U.S. and India are discussed, which may give some guidance to Chinese human resources development.Chapter 7:The Strategy of Human Resources Development to Promote Industrial Upgrading in China. Based on theoretical analysis and some practices from other countries, the suggestions are provided from the perspectives of institution reform, market reward, systematic and so on. And some advices on its development path have been given based on population policies, education, industrial policies, economic incentives, patents’ protection, use of human resources, social security and compensation systems to promote the creativities of human resources in China, which can meet the demand of the second industrial upgrading and realize the sustainable and healthy industrial development in China. Compared with the current studies, the paper makes a systematic study on the human resources development strategy to promote industrial upgrading in China under global value chain specialization. The innovation of the paper includes:First, the paper is based on a new perspective of research. Based on the background of global value chain specialization, the paper makes a systematic study on its impact on industrial upgrading and then studies the strategy of human resources development in one country or district to help promote industrial upgrading.Second, a new empirical model is designed in the paper. Based on the characteristics and requirements of industrial upgrading under global value chain specialization, Index of GDP Value Added Per Capita is designed in the paper to reflect the industrial height under global value chain specialization. And then a correlation model between industrial height and human resources under global value chain specialization is built.Third, a new whole system is given. Based on the contexts of political, economic and cultural environments, the strategies of human resources development in China is discussed to balance area, culture, nationality and gender by disclosing the working mechanism of human resources developmen and industrial upgrading. |
