Abstract/Summary:
Since 1996, China's economy has maintained a rapid growth of around 8%. However, the employment elasticity of the demand has dropped so far not kept pace with economic expansion. surplus labor in China's economic development has become an increasingly prominent issue. This economic phenomenon is incompatible with Western economic theory. As the old industrial bases in the Republic of Jilin Province, as China's economy from the planned economy to market economy. extensive to intensive economic changes in the economy and the continuous deepening of the reform of state-owned enterprises. Inconsistency between economic growth and employment growth is increasingly obvious.Jilin's economic growth in 1980 from 8.2% to 12.95% in 2005. However, the employment rate rose 6.55% in 1980, 1.65% in 2005, but declined to, As the face of economic restructuring resulting in a large number of urban laid-off workers of state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises. As the city brought in large numbers of surplus rural laborers in cities. Due to natural population growth and the formation of new labor force, employment and reemployment problems have become increasingly prominent. In 2005 the number reached 282,000 people were registered as unemployed in urban areas. Moreover, about 10 million new urban jobs in the rural labor force competition. and increasing the number of college graduates, the employment situation is very grim in Jilin Province. In addition, since the 1990s, Jilin Province, the downward trend in employment elasticity coefficient is, in the lower level. Resolving the employment and reemployment problems and how to improve the employment elasticity, is a matter of top priority. it is also a long-term strategic task. Jilin's employment situation is very grim.The article based Jilin province, both from the high rates of economic growth and high unemployment in the objective reality. industrial restructuring resulting from the analysis of economic phenomena such reasons, and in response, Jilin Province in order to maintain a higher economic growth rate while improving the employment elasticity and employment growth the unemployment rate dropped to at least provide a reference. First, we selected Jilin 1978-2004 GDP and employment data on the workforce, We value structure of the three industries in Jilin Province, the three industries and the relative degree of deviation of labor productivity, Third readjustment of the industrial structure of employment structure analysis, it has been drawn some conclusions :1,With the gradual deepening of China's economic reform. originally formed under the planned economic system has been gradually distorted industrial restructuring, Jilin three industries have undergone great changes in the gross domestic product, regardless of the prevailing prices, or the price unchanged, Jilin's three industries from the "February 13" structure into a stable, "February 31" structure.2, The second industry's limited role in the creation of jobs, but the setup deviation tends to increase. The overall number of industry changes is not a big deviation, The proportion of the tertiary industry to absorb more than the employment share of the tertiary industry output. This shows that the third increase in the share of employment in industries, and the percentage of the GDP at constant prices to decrease. Note industry's ability to continue to attract labor and employment has expanded. But from a few very small that the industry share of the gap between the share of employment and output is very small.3, The first industry in 1978-2004, the relative labor productivity dropped from 0.59 to 0.24. average labor productivity, basically has been a downward trend. Secondary industry between 1978-2004, the relative labor productivity rose to 3.07 from 1.65. average labor productivity. The secondary industry, first experienced a decline in labor productivity increased in the process, With the second-tech industries and employment gradually increasing share of the decline. the secondary industry, labor productivity has been on the increase. 1978 -2004 industry labor productivity has gone through a process of first increased and then decreased. 1.07 average labor productivity. This shows that people of the province in the tertiary industry growth rate is higher than the rate of growth of the output value of the share employees. steadily increased their intake of employees. Secondly, under flexible terms of employment arc Jilin previous employment elasticity, flexibility province arc defects According to double the average number of flexible employment model in various industries cross flexibility of the model : Due to historical reasons, b coefficient of elasticity, we have carried out in phases, 1978-1992. 1993-2004. Jilin average for the calculation of the coefficient of elasticity through the process, we get some conclusions :1. Jilin Province in 1978-1992 than in 1993-2004 during the coefficient of elasticity modulus, This shows that with the economic development of the employment absorption is gradually decreasing.2, the three industries and that of the secondary industry to absorb almost no effect on employment. The development of the role of primary industry employment has become a small effect on employment is the third largest industry.3, by calculating the cross-industry flexibility in the development of the first and secondary industries to tertiary industry employment is stimulating role. The development of the second and tertiary industries in the first role in boosting employment. Finally, the analysis of the reasons for lower employment elasticity of Jilin Province, and countermeasures. Jilin High because of public economy, private economy less; readjustment of the industrial structure and technological progress on the employment process of exclusion; readjustment of the industrial structure and employment structure flexible employment, reduce conflict and disharmony. Several prominent authors propose the following measures : quality private enterprises to enhance the development of the second industry. accelerate the development of the tertiary industry emerging service industries; To improve the quality of workers and speed up the re-employment and re-training efforts. Jilin Province in maintaining a relatively high economic growth rate while improving the employment elasticity and employment growth the unemployment rate dropped to at least provide a reference.
