Abstract

China's long-term high-speed economic growth has not brought about an increase in employment. At the same time, the imbalance between the supply and demand imbalance of labor force and the structural unemployment pressure caused by the transformation of economic development mode has made China's current employment pressure unprecedented. The main reasons are the increase in labor supply, the high total employment rate and labor participation rate, the low level of education, gender factors and employment discrimination. Among them, the imbalance of economic structure is an important incentive for the insufficient employment effect. On the basis of summarizing and analyzing the employment effect of economic growth, this paper focuses on the employment effect of economic growth and the factors affecting the employment effect since the reform and opening-up, makes a basic judgment on the employment effect of economic growth in China, and puts forward some countermeasures to improve the employment effect of economic growth in China.
