While China's economy has made remarkable achievements in the world, it faces the double pressure of economic downturn and resource and environmental constraints. In order to coordinate the relationship between economic development and ecological environment, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China elevated the construction of ecological civilization as a national strategy, and clearly required "building a market-oriented green technology innovation system", and the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China also took the greening of economic and social development as a key part of achieving high-quality development. In the process of high-quality development, achieving fuller employment has become an important goal. As a developing country with a large population, the employment issue deeply affects the stable development of society. As a subcategory of innovation, green technology innovation has a complex relationship with employment. This paper aims to explore whether green technology innovation based on ecological environment protection can effectively promote high-quality employment; The influence of green technology innovation in different regions on high-quality employment and the in-depth study of the intermediary mechanism of green technology innovation on high-quality employment, in order to provide new ideas for our country to improve the level of high-quality employment in the new era.
Firstly, this paper constructs green technology innovation index system from the perspective of input-output, adopts non-radial super-efficiency SBM model to measure the green technology innovation level of each province, and uses entropy weight-TOPSIS method to calculate the scores of high-quality employment level in five dimensions: employment environment, employment security and security, employment potential, employment income and employment time. A composite score is taken to measure the level of high-quality employment in each province. Secondly, the impact of green technology innovation on high-quality employment is analyzed by constructing benchmark regression and intermediary effect models. Thirdly, to verify whether there is a nonlinear relationship between the path of "green technology innovation - high-quality employment", it is found that there is a double threshold effect according to the calculation results. Finally, the results show that the upgrading of industrial structure promotes the improvement of high-quality employment.
According to the baseline regression results, there is a significant positive correlation between the level of green technology innovation and high-quality employment in North China, East China, Central China and Southwest China, and a negative correlation between the regression results in Northeast China, South China and Northwest China, but the results are not significant. According to the results of intermediary effect, it can be seen that green technology innovation improves the level of high-quality employment by optimizing the industrial structure and accelerating the transformation of industrial structure. In order to achieve balanced development, the state may introduce policies and regulations around the characteristics of regional development, promote the level of green technology innovation, and promote the upgrading of industrial structure, on the basis of coordinated environment to better improve the overall level of high-quality employment in our country, and further help achieve high-quality social development.
