The Re-Cognition and Direction of Chinese Labor-Intensive Industry

Article Preview

Abstract:

Chinese government has decided to treat the adjusting industrial structure as the strategic task to the national economy. In this situation, labor-intensive industry (LII) is ignored in some extent. This ignorance deserves our attention. To rediscover the new meaning of LII, this paper tries to redefine it, and to predict the direction of its upgrade in China. We think that LII can be divided into four parts: traditional LII, LII based on capital, LII based on technology, and advanced LII. The non-traditional meanings of LII are the production processes depending on labors in capital-and technology-intensive industry. We put forward two upgrade directions of LII: the traditional LII will transfer to the non-traditional LII; LII is shifting from the east China to inland. The paper will help us re-cognize the meanings of LII, and review our current policy in the process of adjusting industrial structure.
