A Statistical Model-Based Study of the Coupled Relationship between Labor Force Skill Complementarity and Economic Growth

Published: 21 November 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Economic growth is one of the key indicators of whether a region is developing and the level of development. The degree of complementarity of labor force skills directly reflects the rationality of the labor force structure in a region. The degree of complementarity between labor force skills and economic growth in a region can be reflected by their coupling degree. To identify the relationship between the degree of labor force skill complementarity and economic growth in Shandong Province and the issues therein, this study utilizes relevant data from the Shandong Statistical Yearbooks from 2006 to 2020 to mainly analyze the synergistic relationship between the degree of labor force skill complementarity and economic growth. The results show that the level of economic growth and the degree of labor force skill complementarity in various cities in Shandong Province have generally steadily increased, and the coupling degree has also shown an increasing trend, indicating an improvement in the synergy between the degree of labor force skill complementarity and economic growth. However, there is significant regional imbalance in the economic growth index and the labor force skill complementarity index in Shandong Province, with substantial disparities between regions. Therefore, recommendations are made based on the results: economically underdeveloped regions should cooperate with economically developed regions, identify positioning accurately, introduce industries, and improve the economic growth level of underdeveloped regions. Developed regions should relax policies, attract low-skilled labor, optimize the labor force structure of developed regions, promote mutual development, and further enhance the synergy between labor force skill complementarity and economic growth.
