Abstract

As an important index to measure a country's economic development and social progress, the skill structure of labor force has been widely concerned. With the rapid development of China's economy and science and technology, the optimization of labor force skill structure has become one of the key factors to achieve sustainable development. However, there are still some deficiencies and limitations in the research on the skill structure of Chinese labor force. By systematically combing relevant studies, this paper clarified the evolution trend of China's labor force skill structure, deeply analyzed the influence mechanism of China's labor force skill structure around variables such as digital economy, industrial upgrading, regional development level, technological progress and urbanization, and then discussed the optimization path of labor force skill structure, and looked forward to the direction and focus of future research.
