Abstract
Exploring the relationship between industrial green development, technological innovation, and employment structure, especially the impact between industrial green development and technological innovation on employment structure, is of enormous theoretical and practical importance to achieve high-quality employment as well as optimize the employment structure of China. Thirty Chinese provinces’ data from 2009 to 2019 is adopted to assess industrial green development levels. Considering the above, this research innovatively integrates industrial green development, technological innovation, and employment structure into an analytical framework, and empirically investigates the effects of the two factors and their interaction on employment structure by adopting a two-way fixed effects model. The specific conclusions are presented as follows. Firstly, China’s industrial green development levels exhibit a fluctuating and rising time-series evolutionary feature from 2009 to 2019 and have regional differences. Secondly, industrial green development, technological innovation, and their interaction are conducive to optimizing China’s employment structure. Thirdly, the eastern and northeastern areas’ employment structure optimization is boosted by industrial green development. However, the corresponding regression coefficients in the western and central areas are not significant. The northeastern, eastern, and western areas’ technological innovation encourages employment structure improvement. Instead, the employment structure is hampered by technological innovation in the central region. An interaction between industrial green evolution and technological innovation positively affects relevant employment structures in the four regions. Specific results of this research are of necessary theoretical significance and the realistic reference price for whether industrial green development and the interplay affect employment structure.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Earth Science is an open-access journal that aims to bring together and publish on a single platform the best research dedicated to our planet.
This platform hosts the rapidly growing and continuously expanding domains in Earth Science, involving the lithosphere (including the geosciences spectrum), the hydrosphere (including marine geosciences and hydrology, complementing the existing Frontiers journal on Marine Science) and the atmosphere (including meteorology and climatology). As such, Frontiers in Earth Science focuses on the countless processes operating within and among the major spheres constituting our planet. In turn, the understanding of these processes provides the theoretical background to better use the available resources and to face the major environmental challenges (including earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions, floods, landslides, climate changes, extreme meteorological events): this is where interdependent processes meet, requiring a holistic view to better live on and with our planet.
The journal welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of Earth Science.
The open-access model developed by Frontiers offers a fast, efficient, timely and dynamic alternative to traditional publication formats. The journal has 20 specialty sections at the first tier, each acting as an independent journal with a full editorial board. The traditional peer-review process is adapted to guarantee fairness and efficiency using a thorough paperless process, with real-time author-reviewer-editor interactions, collaborative reviewer mandates to maximize quality, and reviewer disclosure after article acceptance. While maintaining a rigorous peer-review, this system allows for a process whereby accepted articles are published online on average 90 days after submission.
General Commentary articles as well as Book Reviews in Frontiers in Earth Science are only accepted upon invitation.
