Spatial distribution and flow pattern of digital talents in China based on ana-lysis of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Area,the Yangtze River Delta Area,Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
Talent is the core driving force behind the development of digital economy.By analyzing the key and core technologies in the fields of artificial intelligence,Internet of Things,cloud computing,and blockchain industries,and utilizing the Linkedln Big Data Insight Platform,we obtained static location(2022)and dynamic migration(2021-2022)data on digital talents engaged in digital technology development and related management work in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei,Yangtze River Delta,and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area during the COV-ID-19 pandemic.A comparative analysis of the distribution and flow patterns of digital talent in the three major urban clusters in China reveals the following results:1)Chinese digital talents are highly concentrated in major cities such as Beijing,Shanghai,Hong Kong,and Shenzhen,but there is still a significant gap in terms of talent levels compared to top global cities;2)The coordination level of digital talents development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the Yangtze River Delta region is higher than that in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region,and have led to the formation of prominent digital talent hubs in Hong Kong-Shenzhen and Shanghai-Suzhou;3)Domestically,digital talent demonstrates a circular flow pattern,but on a global scale,it's a non-zero-sum game,showing a trend of outward migration facilitated by Hong Kong acting as a pivot;4)Based on the direction and activity level of digital talent flow,there are no net inflow active cities among the three major urban clusters,indicating severe risks of digital talent loss for all regions.Suzhou,Hangzhou,and Shenzhen are balanced type active cities,while Beijing,Shanghai,Nanjing,and Hong Kong are net outflow active cities,and Tianjin,Hefei,and Guang-zhou are inactive cities.Finally,policy recommendations are proposed from global,regional,and local per-spectives.
