STUDY ON THE MISMATCH OF LABOR SUPPLY AND DEMAND AND THE PATH OF INDUSTRIAL UPGRADING IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL ECONOMY

Abstract

With the rapid development of the digital economy, China's production mode has changed, resulting in some problems faced by the Chinese economy in recent years. Among them, the problem of labor supply and demand mismatch is more prominent. In the context of digital economy, this paper mainly studies the impact of China's labor supply and demand mismatch on industrial structure upgrading, and the path of digital economy to adjust labor supply and demand mismatch and industrial structure upgrading. This paper puts forward four hypotheses: First, the mismatch of labor supply and demand will inhibit the upgrading of industrial structure; Second, the mismatch of labor supply and demand will inhibit the rationalization of industrial structure; Third, the regulatory effect of digital economy can force human capital to improve the industrial structure and contribute to the upgrading of industrial structure; Fourth, the digital economy can alleviate the negative impact of the rationalization of the mismatched industrial structure of labor supply and demand. The empirical results of this study show that, first of all, the mismatch of labor supply and demand in China has a direct inhibitory effect on the upgrading and rationalization of industrial structure; Second, China's digital economy has played an important role in adjusting the imbalance between labor supply and demand and improving the industrial structure. Third, there are significant differences in the mismatch of labor supply and demand in different regions of China, which have different effects in the process of industrial structure upgrading in different regions.
