产业集聚与农村劳动力的跨区域流动

改革开放20多年来,伴随着非农产业向沿海地区集聚的是中西部地区农村劳动力的跨省流动转移。本文以一个新国际贸易理论和新经济地理学为框架详细分析了这一中西部地区农村劳动力跨省转移的结构、数量、城镇类别选择、行业选择等等,发现跨省流动的绝大部分劳动力是从人口较为密集的中部地区和西南地区向产业已有一定集聚优势的沿海地区转移。文章最后以广东省为案例,分析了外来农民工的进入与流入地、流出地的经济发展关系,发现它符合新经济地理学的理论推断。本文最后得出的政策含义是推动中西部地区城市化进程对发展中西部经济、缩小东西部地区差距具有重要意义。

Industrial Concentration and the Trans-regional Flow of Rural Labor Forces

Since more than 20 years ago when China began to reform and open the outside world, accompa-nied with the gathering of non-agricultural businesses has been a trans-provincial flow of rural laborforces from China, s center and western areas towards the coastland. With a new international businesstheory and a new economic geography as a framework, we in this article have made a detailed analysisof the flow structure, quantity, and selection of the type of cities and business lines in the said flow,and found that most of this flow has been from China's center and southwest areas with a dense pop-ulation to the coastal areas already with the advantage of a gathering of industries. Finally, takingGuangdong as an example, we have analyzed the relationship between the inflow of peasant-workersfrom outside and the economic growth in places to flow in and that in areas to flow from, a relationshipwhich, we find, is in conformity with the theoretical inference of the neo-economic geography. We have finally drawn the conclusion that, in terms of polices, to give impetus to the process ofurbanization of center and western areas is of great significance to the development thereof and tonarrowing the gap between eastern and western China.
