Has New Quality Productive Forces Promoted Employment Structural Transformation?A Study Based on the Inframarginal General Equilibrium Perspective
Based on the theoretical framework of new classical economics,starting from the core characteristics of high quality,high technology,and high efficiency of new quality productive forces,this paper constructs an asymmetric endogenous division of labor evolution model for the evolution of traditional productivity,traditional-new quality productive forces,and new quality productive forces.The study finds that the integrated development of traditional-new quality productive forces and the leapfrogging development of new quality productive forces will significantly enhance per capita real income and overall social welfare under the endogenous division of labor evolution,providing economic support for employment structural transformation.Further research reveals that with the market equilibrium structure evolution driven by new quality productive forces,the scale of mid-to-high-end employment grows exponentially and accelerates the transformation and upgrading of employment structure with the improvement of transaction efficiency,promoting the evolution of workers from low-end to mid-to-high-end employment.Moreover,reducing the fixed learning costs of new quality productive forces and enhancing market transaction efficiency will powerfully facilitate the evolution of market equilibrium structure,breaking away from the employment structure imbalance dominated by traditional productivity,and reducing the proportion of low-end employees.This paper offers policy insights for accelerating the development of new quality productive forces and promoting employment structural transformation.
