Abstract
Under the implementation of the regional coordinated development strategy, the western region, as an important key point, should grasp the development opportunity. We must transform and upgrade the industrial structure to achieve coordinated regional development and promote high-quality economic development. As the most basic factor of production, labor plays an important role in upgrading industrial structure. Based on the provincial panel data of the western region from 2006 to 2019, a fixed-effects regression was used to study the impact of labor flow on industrial structure upgrading in the western region. It is found that labor flow has a significant impact on industrial structure upgrading, which is characterized by industrial upgrading and industrial structure rationalization, and it has a promoting effect on industrial structure upgrading. Therefore, the western region should reasonably guide the return of labor force, pay attention to the construction and improvement of infrastructure, improve the effective use of labor resources in the western region, pay attention to the reasonable distribution of labor force among the three industries, and promote the rational industrial layout in the western region, to promote the upgrading of the industrial structure better.
