In the past two years, the pressure of the Liaoning province’s economy’s descending was increasing. The GDP of Liaoning province was growth of 3.0% in 2015, which was the last one of the whole nation and far less than the national average of 6.9%. Meanwhile, Liaoning province is a major industrial province. At present some traditional industrial sector generally faced with the plight of excess capacity. And these problems forced the economic structure adjustment of liaoning province. Only the optimization of industrial structure on the supply side to provide the effective demand of the society can solve major structural problems which restrict the economic sustainable and healthy development. Adjustment of industrial structure upgrade will break the original factors of production and form a new production elements combination. Labor as one of the main factors of production, in the process of industry structure changes, is bound to be affected. And the Liaoning province labor employment is also facing many problems.With the development of urbanization in Liaoning province, a large number of rural surplus labor forces go into the city looking for work. Because of the industrial sector’s excess production capacity, there is serious recessive unemployment phenomenon. Level of the third industry development in Liaoning province is still relatively low, has yet ability to give full play to absorb the employment. All of these conditions increased the employment pressure of Liaoning province making the employment problem is particularly serious. Therefore, to solve the employment problem, Liaoning province must consider the plan of upgrading industrial structure as a whole. At present, the economic reform in Liaoning province has entered the deep waters and the industrial structure is vigorously adjusted and upgraded. In such a realistic background, the article hopes to explore the mechanism for the influence of the industrial structure’s upgrading of employment to find the relationship between employment and industrial structure’s upgrading, and eventually overcome the bottlenecks which influence the employment expansion and as far as possible to achieve full employment. To promote the upgrading of industrial structure’s optimization of Liaoning province, to accelerate the employment structure’s transformation, thus promote employment and solve the employment pressure in Liaoning province, which has important practical significance.First of all, the article generalizes and summarizes the research both at home and abroad, and makes a briefly evaluate and analyses. Second, from the two aspects’ effect of the upgrading of industrial structure in employment scale and employment structure, make a systematic elaboration of the influence mechanism for the upgrading of the industrial structure of employment. As for the effect of industrial structure’s upgrading of employment scale, on the one hand will have promoted effect on employment scale, on the other hand, due to the industrial structure upgrade, the phenomena of the capital and technology will replace labor force, and lead to structural unemployment. This will have crowding out effect on employment scale. In the end, whether the scale will expand employment depends on the net effect after stacking the both. The employment structure effect is mainly analyzed the rule of labors’ distribution in the three industries which change along with the upgrading of industrial structure. Labor distribution in the three industries accounted for the order from one, two, three gradually transition to the three, two, one. Third, for the influence of upgrading of the industrial structure of employment in the first place, it was made the measurement test. Second use employment elasticity index respectively investigates the three industry employment absorption capacity. Measurement test results show that:Consistent with the hypothesis, industrial structure change speed is negatively related with employment scale, and industrial structure change direction was positively correlated to the relationship with employment scale. But the effect of industrial structure’s change direction is greater than the effect of the industrial structure’s change speed. Finally the promotion of the upgrade of industrial structure increases the employment. Employment elasticity of the tertiary industry is the largest. This is associated with the industry characteristics of the tertiary industry. Most traditional of the third industry is labor-intensive industries. Even the emerging service industry is technology intensive, still has strong employment absorption capacity. Fourth, the paper analyzes the change situations of industry structure and employment structure in Liaoning province since reform and opening up. And making use of the structure deviation degree studies the deviations from the employment structure and industrial structure. The last is comparative analysis the condition of the six developed provinces and cities in our country with Liaoning province. Finally find out the problems of three industries in employment and provide reality basis for sections of countermeasures and suggestions. Finally, based on the theoretical analysis and empirical analysis parts, from the optimization of three industries and promote employment give suggests. |
