Research On The Mechanism Of Technological Progress Affecting Employment In China's Manufacturing Industry

Employment is the foundation of people's livelihood and is the key to realizing the prosperity of the country.Technology is the primary productive force,and technological progress is one of the factors that affect employment.At present,the employment situation in China is very serious How to solve people's employment has become a top priority.It is imperative to study the impact of technological progress on employment.There is a disagreement among theorists about how technological progress affects employment.Therefore,whether it is from the perspective of reality or from a theoretical point of view,research on the impact of technological progress on employment has a certain significance.Manufacturing industry is an important pillar of the national economy,and it is also one of the important industries that absorb employment.Therefore,the article considers the impact of manufacfturing technology progress on employment as the research object,and divides the 28 industries of China's manufacturing industry into low-tech manufacturing and low-and medium-tech manufacturing.Industry,high-tech manufacturing,and high-tech manufacturing researched the impact of technological progress on employment.Firstly,based on the theoretical basis of Marx's technological advancement in employment-related theory,the article sorts out Marx's related theories and finds that Marx insists on the idea of dividing into two in this issue.He believes that technological progress not only destroys but also creates employment.Substitution effects and creative effects.Then,based on the status quo of China's manufacturing technology advancement and employment,the relevant data of 15 indicators in 28 industries from 2000 to 2016 were selected,and the weights of 15 indicators in technological progress were calculated using the principal component analysis method in SPSS software.Calculate and establish an indicator system for measuring technological progress and employment.On this basis,the article conducts an empirical study of this issue.Using the EG two-step method,the stability test,cointegration test,Granger causality test,and error correction model(ECM)yield the following conclusions:The impact of technological progress in the industry on employment is mainly based on creative effects,but technological progress has different effects on the employment of difIferent technology-content manufacturing industries.In the long-term,technological progress in low-tech manufacturing and low-and medium-Employment is dominated by substitution effects and is more obvious;the technological progress of high-tech manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing has a more obvious effect on employment creation.From the perspective of the entire manufacturing industry,technological progress in the field of manufacturing in China has created jobs.effect.Finally,the article puts forward policy recommendations based on the analysis of Marx's related theories.
