Overview

Analysis demonstrates regional job diversification influenced by multidimensional relatedness, affecting various city sizes.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how multidimensional relatedness affects job diversification across different city sizes in China.
  • Analyzed data from population censuses, sampling surveys, and enterprise registration of 264 Chinese cities from 2000 to 2015.
  • Constructed industrial, occupational, and job relatedness networks.
  • Examined spatiotemporal dynamics and mechanisms of job entry.
  • Regions diversify jobs closely related to existing industrial and occupational structures.
  • Industry and occupation relatedness are complementary for job entry.
  • Job relatedness has the strongest effect in small cities, while larger cities benefit more from industry and occupation relatedness.
