Research on the Relationship between Industrial Structure Evolution and Industry Income Gap in Hong Kong ()
ABSTRACT
The widening industry income gap in Hong Kong has
seriously hindered the balanced development
of industry and sustained and healthy economic growth. Therefore, it is
of great significance to explore the influence mechanism of industrial
structure evolution on industry income gap and the relationship between them.
This paper takes Hong Kong’s industrial structure evolution and industry income
gap as the research object, and comprehensively uses statistical data and
census data to analyze in detail the causal relationship between industrial
structure evolution and industry income gap. Starting with the evolution of
Hong Kong’s industrial structure, this paper follows the idea that the
industrial structure determines the employment structure and thus affects the
change of the industry income gap. Then we use agent variables which describe
the nature of industrial structure evolution and industry income gap to conduct
causality analysis and regression analysis to find the dynamic and quantitative
relationship between them.
