ABSTRACT
With the development of the times, the role of human capital in economic
growth has been highlighted. However, in the current academic world, the
research on the topic of demographic structure and human capital accumulation
is not closely integrated. China is now in a period of economic transformation
and upgrading, and it is urgent to change
the traditional economic growth model, increase human capital investment, and
cultivate new growth momentum. Therefore, this paper examines the impact of China’s
population structure on human capital accumulation by constructing a
mathematical model based on relevant panel
data of 31 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions)
from 2001 to 2020. The empirical results show that human capital accumulation
in China has a certain lagging effect, while population age and urban-rural
structure enhance human capital accumulation in both quantitative and
qualitative terms, respectively. In
addition, industrial transformation, economic growth
level, and per capita income
all have significant positive effects. The effect of education, on the other hand, is not significant,
while the interaction between urbanization and industrial structure may hurt
it. Based on this, this paper proposes targeted countermeasures and suggestions
in terms of fully developing the population quality dividend, fully tapping the
talent knowledge dividend, continuously
improving the health dividend, and continually tapping the aging dividend.
