The Influence Of Cognitive And Non-cognitive Ability On Payroll Income Of Laborers

Payroll income is the core index in the process of improving the personal income level of workers.It has been widely concerned as a basic factor in improving life and realizing value.In previous studies on factors affecting payroll and income of workers,traditional concepts such as education and health were included as key conditions in the analysis process,and cognitive skills such as mathematical logic and intelligence level were regarded as decisive variables.However,this perspective does not consider the impact of workers’ own psychological,personality and other non-cognitive skills on their payrolls and incomes,and the role of individual quality is not yet clear.General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly stated at the19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: "The focus of achieving the improvement of labor remuneration is reflected in the ability and quality mastered by workers." At this time,the Outline of the National Scientific Literacy Action Plan(2021-2035)was issued,which further indicates that the difference in human capital level,such as the unequal ability and quality,may become the crux of the problem that prevents the improvement of the relative payroll income of the labor force.Therefore,on the premise of sorting out the classical human capital theory and the new human capital theory,this paper reviews the literature related to the income effect of human capital,cognitive ability and non-cognitive ability,and analyzes the channels and paths of the payroll effect of cognitive and non-cognitive ability from a theoretical perspective.In the part of indicator measurement and empirical test,this paper mainly uses the data of " China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)" in 2018 to study the payroll effects reflected by the two abilities,and makes a comparative analysis.Secondly,this paper discusses the effects of cognitive and non-cognitive ability on the heterogeneity of payroll income from the perspectives of gender,household registration,employment pattern and industry choice,and also makes a comparative study of the effects.Thirdly,the paper attempts to verify the basic conclusions with the help of contemporaneous,adjacent data and various micrometrological methods.Finally,learning attitude,information collection,social capital and occupational desirability were used to test the mechanism of the realization of cognitive and non-cognitive payroll effect.It is found that both cognitive ability and non-cognitive ability can significantly improve workers’ wage level,and the payroll effect of comprehensive non-cognitive ability is about8.7% higher than that of cognitive ability.The heterogeneity analysis shows that the comprehensive non-cognitive ability paroll effect is significantly stronger than the comprehensive cognitive ability payroll effect in the aspects of personal characteristics,household registration,employment pattern and industry.After all kinds of robustness tests,the basic conclusion of this paper is not shaken,only a small change in the value.Quantile regression verifies this result again,and also finds that the payroll effect of cognitive and non-cognitive ability of workers decreases with the increase of income.The final mechanism test also confirmed the realistic conjecture that cognitive ability improves payrolls and incomes through workers’ learning attitudes and information collection channels,and that non-cognitive ability improves payrolls and incomes through workers’ social capital and occupational desirable paths.In accordance with the above analysis results,this paper provides suggestions and suggestions from the aspects of strengthening the human capital investment of individual workers,the skills and quality training of enterprise workers,the construction of national rules and regulations and the construction of social public welfare platform,so as to make a modest contribution with reference to the realization of the research objectives of this paper.
