Abstract

Since China’s reform and opening up, relying on the driving power of labor-intensive industries, the economic level of the eastern region has achieved a qualitative leap. However, with the rising labour shortages and wage costs, labour-intensive industries in the eastern region have lost the comparative advantage to start looking for a new “habitat”. This paper sets out to find the most main factors of “habitat” from the effects of labour-intensive industries, the perspective of the labour supply and demand. It respectively forecasts the labour supply and demand in the coming decade based on GM (1,1) grey prediction model and Cobb Douglas production function model of Xinjiang with the aim of making the autonomous region government know the situation of the future labor supply and demand in Xinjiang to be able to take corresponding policy ahead of time by the predicted results. The predicted results show that at present the labour force has been in short supply in Xinjiang and the supply gap has appeard in the labor force. Moreover, the gap has a tendency to enlarge gradually. If Xinjiang wants to undertake the processing and manufacturing industries in the eastern region, the corresponding policies and measures need to be taken.
