正式社会网络与劳动力跨省流动:基于异地商会的视角

Formal Social Networks and Interprovincial Labour Mobility:A Perspective Based on Cross-Regional Chambers of Commerce

本文基于手工整理的异地商会信息和2011-2017年全国流动人口动态监测调查数据,研究异地商会对劳动力跨省流动的影响。基于引力模型的研究发现,异地商会显著促进了劳动力跨省流动,其作用机制主要为降低流动成本、打破资源垄断、提升社会接纳水平和弥补正式制度的不完善。并且,异地商会对劳动力市场上的弱势群体作用更大,能够帮助流动人口就业和创业,对不同产业的流动人口具有异质性效应。本文的研究为打破劳动力市场流动壁垒、完善就业促进机制提供了经验证据和政策参考。

Drawing on data from cross-regional chambers of commerce and the 2011-2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey(CMDS),this paper investigates the influence of provincial-level cross-regional chambers of commerce on interprovincial labour mobility.The results of the study indicate that cross-regional chambers of commerce significantly facilitate interprovincial labour mobility and that they primarily act by reducing mobility costs,breaking resource monopolies,enhancing social acceptance levels and compensating for the deficiencies of formal institutions.Moreover,cross-regional chambers of commerce exert a greater impact on vulnerable groups within the labour market,helping the migrant population to find employment and become entrepreneurs,while exhibiting heterogeneous effects on the migrant population across different industries.This study provides comprehensive evidence and policy references to break down barriers to labour market mobility and improve employment promotion mechanisms.
