摘要: 本文分析了智能化对中国制造业就业的影响机理,并基于中国2010—2019年的省级面板数据,实证检验智能化对制造业就业及其劳动力技能结构的影响。结果表明:智能化与中国制造业就业总量之间存在“U”型关系,即智能化水平较低时以对就业的替代为主,智能化水平较高后将显著促进就业增长;智能化通过延伸产业链和促进技术创新等中间途径实现就业的创造效应,其中,延伸产业链的中介效应更为明显;智能化有利于制造业就业结构高级化,随着智能化水平的提高,劳动力市场高技能和中技能劳动力的需求增加,低技能劳动力的需求下降;智能化对制造业就业及其劳动力技能结构的影响存在区域异质性。为应对智能化对制造业就业造成的差异化影响,应进一步提升高等教育和职业教育质量,完善技能培训的内容与模式,制定差异化的区域政策,积极引导智能化促进制造业高质量就业。

Abstract: This paper analyzes the mechanism of how intelligentization impacts the employment of China's manufacturing industry, and based on China's 2010-2019 provincial panel data, empirically tests the impact of intelligentization on the employment and skill structure of manufacturing industry. The results show that there is a "U-shaped" relationship between intelligentization and total employment in China's manufacturing. When the level of intelligentization is low, the substitution of employment will be the main factor, but the higher level of intelligentization will significantly promote employment growth. The employment creation effect is achieved through intermediate channels such as extending industrial chain and promoting technological innovation. Among them, the mediating effect of industrial chain extension is particularly obvious. Intelligentization is conducive to advanced manufacturing employment structure. With the increase in intelligentization, the demand for high-skilled and medium-skilled labor will increase, while the demand for low-skilled labor will decline. There is regional heterogeneity in the impact of intelligentization on manufacturing employment and its skill structure. To cope with the differential impact of intelligentization on manufacturing employment, we should further improve the quality of higher education and vocational education, optimize the content and model of skills training, formulate differentiated regional policies, and guide intelligentization to promote high-quality manufacturing employment.
