经济增长中的人口规模与人力资本效率提升
The Population Size and the Improvement of Human Capital Efficiency in Economic Growth
摘要
Abstract
Human capital is the main driving force for modern economic growth.In the new population development pattern of negative population growth and deepening aging,increasing the stock of human capital and improving its efficiency in economic growth are particularly important.However,besides factors such as their own structure,level,and external institutions,are there any other factors that play an irreplaceable role on the efficiency of human capital?To this end,population size is included into the analysis framework of human capital and economic growth,and the impact of population size on human capital efficiency and economic growth to theoretically analyze and empirically test the impact of population size on human capital efficiency.The results show that the population size has a role in providing a buffer space for the improvement of human capital level and efficiency.The main mechanism is not only that a larger population size implies a relatively larger number and quality of workers,but more importantly,population size exerts a positive diffusion effect on human capital efficiency through the market size effect it contains;A larger population size can also aggregate human capital in large cities to produce a fission effect,thereby enabling human capital to exert its due efficiency.Therefore,it can be inferred that under the condition of negative population growth in the future,we should maintain the stability of the huge population size,continue to increase the stock of human capital and make full use of the market resources formed by the huge population to release and improve the efficiency of human capital,so as to ensure high-quality economic growth and development.关键词
