摘要(Abstract):
基于中国劳动力动态调查2012年、2014年和2016年数据,结合城市层面的机器人安装密度数据,本文考察了机器人应用对个体劳动参与决策的影响。实证结果表明:(1)机器人应用每上升10%,个体的劳动参与率显著增加2.31%,且该结论在经过一系列检验后依然保持稳健。(2)机制分析显示,机器人应用有利于增加就业、促进技能提升与匹配、改善工作状况、优化劳动者状态,进而提高个体劳动参与。(3)异质性分析显示,不同群体受机器人应用的影响存在差异,其对女性、中青年、健康群体以及低技能和高技能个体的劳动参与促进作用更为显著。基于此,本文认为中国可以通过推动机器人应用的发展来释放潜在劳动力,缓解因人口老龄化和少子化所造成的劳动力短缺;同时,政府也需要事先防范机器人应用可能引发的劳动参与不平等问题,促进劳动力市场的公平健康发展。

- (1)根据国家统计局最新数据,2022年中国劳动年龄人口(15~64岁)为96289万人,劳动参与率下降6.2%会导致劳动年龄人口供给减少96289×6.2%=5969.918万,约6000万人。 (2)我国机器人产业迈向中高端(科技视点)-人民日报( https://gxt.hebei.gov.cn/hbgyhxxht/xwzx32/snxw40/938070/index.html)。 (3)有部分无工作群体回答自己有寻找工作,但在具体询问做了哪些与找工作相关的事时又回答什么都没做,存在自相矛盾。 (4)工作极化是指高技能和低技能职业的就业份额同时迅速增加,但中等技能职业就业份额反而下降的异常现象(Goos and Manning,2007),有大量论文对该现象进行研究(Goos et al.,2009,2014;Oesch and Rodríguez Menés,2011;Peugny,2019)。
