广东省劳动年龄人口变动特征及其成因分析

An Analysis of the Characteristics and Causes of the Working-age Population Changes in Guangdong Province

本文描述2000年以来广东省劳动年龄人口的变动特征,并探讨了产生变动的人口学因素。研究显示,广东省劳动年龄人口的比例在下降,年龄结构趋于老化,受教育年限在提高,就业人口总量逐年上升,但增速明显放缓。就业人口集中在第二、三产业。省内各区域劳动年龄人口比重处于较高水平,区域内比重的差距在减少,说明人口流动更加合理有序。研究显示,广东省劳动年龄人口的变动受到常住人口规模、人口转变、人口迁移流动和劳动参与率等因素的影响。
