Under the negative population growth, the age of migrant workers is approaching 40 years old, and the income gap between men and women is widening
A few days ago, the "15th Chinese Talent Resources Forum" and the "2022 Chinese Talent Development Research" were officially announced, showing the new trend of Chinese talent development. This data shows that China's labor force is showing an aging trend, with China's labor force going from 1985 to 2021 from 3225 years up to 39He was 42 years old. In particular, by 2021, the average age of male workers in rural areas had reached more than 40.
From a regional point of view, China's provinces and cities with a relatively high level of population aging include: Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Chongqing, Zhejiang, etc. Hainan, Xinjiang, Guangdong, Guizhou and ** are relatively young regions. In addition, the working age in Guangdong Province reached 37 in 2021At 72 years old, it is the fifth youngest age group in our country, but it has declined compared to the previous year.
At the same time, China's overall human resources are increasing, but at a slower pace. From 2010 to 2021, the growth rate of total urban human capital was 1526% and 909%。China's total talent assets reached 3,378 at the end of 20203 trillion yuan.
With regard to gender, the report shows that women's level of university education has improved considerably, but the difference in average average human capital between men and women has increased, and that the level of wages has changed similarly in recent years. Although girls are more educated than boys, the wage gap between men and women is widening.
In view of the above-mentioned problems, the departments concerned have proposed that the state should increase investment in childbirth, parenting, and education, so as to raise the level of investment in China's human resources and accelerate the pace of transformation of China's economic development mode. In addition, the study also pointed out that in the face of China's continuous population decline, it is necessary to increase investment in human resources to prevent the total labor force from decreasing due to rapid aging, which will have a long-term negative effect on China's economic development.
In general, there is still a serious problem in China's labor market, that is, the problems of "aging population" and "wage inequality between men and women" are becoming increasingly prominent.
