The evolution of industrial structure, industrial structure and industrial layout, not only embodies the level of a country’s economic development, with which will also be able to analysis a country’s economic potential and economic prospects. Essentially, adjusting the industrial structure is facilitating resources, capital, and technology and labor among factors of production in various industries, and making the industrial structure more reasonable and sophisticated. With low labor costs in China since reform and opening up the comparative advantage of rapidly, mainly labor-intensive production structure, bring our country a high speed of development, people’s living standards have greatly improved. But as the level of people income have raised, also had a restriction on the development of Chinese economy, especially the impact on the traditional labor-intensive industries is more significant, so the Labor cost problem has become widespread in China’s economic development, irreversible reality. Main reason for the appear this kind of circumstance is China’s family planning policy lead to a drop in the birth rate and aging of the population increase, so that the working-age population is reduced, and at the same time also is accompanied by the transfer of rural surplus labor to city modern department, these factors have directly led to the shortage of labor supply, due to the shortage of labor supply, demands for the expansion of labor price rise, inevitable result in high labor costs, low degree of finish production structure would eventually vanish. Therefore, this article will be on the basis of the rising Labor costs as reality basis, further study of the comparative advantage of labor costs in China, as well as labor costs that meet the needs of the adjustment of industrial structure direction.To explore the method and the path of industrial structure adjustment and evolution, this paper will be divided into three parts, and five chapters. The first part is the macro part of this article, including the first chapter and the second chapter, starting from the theoretical background, systematically introduces the research background of the industrial structure evolution theory and changes in the characteristics of industrial structure in the world. The second part includes chapter 3 and chapter 4, it is the core of this article, the research focuses on China’s industrial structure evolution path, the introduction of the concept of unit Labor costs at the same time, in-depth research in our country as a whole and different areas within the scope of the relationship between industrial structure and labor costs, and according to the comparative advantages in different parts of the test the rationality of the layout of China’s industry. The last chapter of this paper according to the above analysis and data to calculate the labor cost in China and the potential relationship between the industrial structure, and according to the relationship between the optimization of industrial structure in our country, adjustment and regional comparative advantage between the industrial structures of the feasible policy Suggestions are put forward.Through the study of the above content, this paper can get the following conclusion: at present our country both nationally and in different parts of the labor cost is growing dramatically, and this trend will continue. But along with our country industrial structure adjustment and technology innovation, rising labor costs and not weaken the comparative advantage of labor costs in China: this means that although Labor costs have been rising in China, can be created by labor value are growing faster than the growth rate of labor costs; And under the regulation of market economy, the industrial structure in different regions also showed a distinct regional characteristics, and formed a corresponding comparative advantage. Not only that, China’s industrial structure and the labor costs also maintained a close link between: whenever changes in the cost of labor, will cause a corresponding adjustment of industrial structure, to make it to a more reasonable, more advanced in the direction of evolution.In the process of researching in this article, there exist two aspects of breakthrough. The first one is the citing of data reference, in order to make the research more accurate, this paper collected nearly 10 years related between tens of thousands of data, and combining the advanced panel data analysis method, got about China’s industrial structure and subtle and close relationship between labor costs; At the same time, in order to investigate different regional industry’s comparative advantage and the labor productivity change, according to the geographical characteristics of the 31 provinces(municipalities and autonomous regions) of China is divided into five regions, and according to whether the coastal it again divided into coastal areas and inland areas, fully reflects the regional characteristics of the distribution of labor force. The second breakthrough is analysis method, first of all, in order to get the most exact labor costs as well as the comparative advantage of information, this paper defines the concept of unit Labor costs, unit Labor costs is to point to each unit of labor productivity of labor remuneration, can be obtained by dividing the labor remuneration by mathematical calculation and get the labor productivity, this concept can well explain the connotation of labor cost and comparative advantage, the analysis to the research of this paper provide the most appropriate and accurate data support; Second in order to accurately draw the potential relationship between industrial structure and labor costs, will change between elastic by calculation, through processing the data shows that, indeed there are significant Numbers between confirming our hypothesis, this also for the empirical research of this paper drew a satisfactory full stop.
