贸易开放、《劳动合同法》实施与中国制造业用工行为——基于增加值贸易视角

Trade Openness,“Labor Contract Law” Implementation and Employment Behavior of Chinese Manufacturing Industry——Based on the Perspective of Value Added Trade

文章采用中国制造业分行业增加值贸易数据,考察贸易开放和《劳动合同法》实施对中国制造业用工行为的影响。研究发现:随着用工短缺现象日益凸显,贸易开放所引致的激烈竞争促使中国制造业企业纷纷采取"增强劳动强度,减少劳动人数"的用工行为,而《劳动合同法》的实施会显著地抑制贸易开放对劳动者权益产生的不利影响,这意味着劳动力市场监管环境的改善有助于提升中国开放型制造业的劳动者权益,进一步分行业研究发现,《劳动合同法》在中高技术制造行业的实施效果更为凸显。

This paper uses value added trade data of Chinese manufacturing industry to examine the effect of trade openness and ＂Labor Contract Law＂ implementation on employment behavior of Chinese manufacturing industry.The research result finds that with labor shortages becomes increasingly prominent; the fierce competition caused by Trade openness makes Chinese manufacturing enterprises have to take employment measures of ＂enhancing labor intensity,reducing the labor number＂.But the implementation of ＂Labor Contract Law＂ will strictly inhibit the adverse effect of trade openness on labor rights and interests,which means that the improvement of the labor market supervision environment is helpful to improve the workers＇ rights and interests.The further research finds that the positive effect of the implementation of ＂Labor Contract Law＂ is more obvious in high-tech manufacturing industry.
