Abstract:

The paper made unary linear regression and structure deviation degree analyses with the data of Shanxi province in China from 1992 to 2010. The results show that when the coal output increases by 1% , the employment will increase by 1.202%. And the structure deviation degree in the coal industry fell from-0.11 to-0.56 between 1992 and 2001, then it aggrandized to - 0.15 in 2010. Which presented a note of discord surfaced during industrial structure and employment structure adjusting in Shanxi province. This suggests that there are the disguised unemployment within the coal industry. So this paper emphasizes that the government should implement the coal property right reform policy, and simultaneously develop effective measures to guide the workers to flow from the coal industry to the other secondary industries or the third industry.
