Study on the Talent Introduction Policy for the Sustainable Development of Islands

Abstract

One of the key factors in achieving sustainable development for islands is to ensure the availability of sufficient talent. As the ‘Western Region in the East’, China’s islands face the situation of inactive development and are in urgent need of talent. However, except for very few islands, most have become caught in the plight of the outflow or insufficient introduction of talent. Pingtan Islands, a comprehensive experimental zone, free trade zone and international tourist destination, is also facing the problem of talent introduction. On the basis of analyzing its talent introduction policies, this paper points out that it is necessary to hierarchically and dynamically adjust the talent introduction policy and refine the regulations. In addition, it is proposed to evaluate the results of talent introduction on a quantitative basis, e.g. from the amount of talent introduced, population growth, and total consumption, in order to further improve relevant policies.
