ABSTRACT: As an important aspect of the industrial structure,
the employment structure can better reflect the real production, true lifestyle
and income distribution, and it is a key indicator to measure the development
of the city. As a symbol of the openness and development of the super city, FDI
has become one of the core drivers for employment structure optimization. Based
on the three perspectives of sector structure, space structure and quality
structure of Beijing’s employment, a dual-coupling model is established to
investigate the interaction mechanism and coupling effects between FDI and
employment structure and to examine the role of FDI in optimizing the employment
structure of Beijing. Results show that the employment structure system is
better developed than FDI system, and there are coupling effects between FDI
and employment structure in terms of employment sector-structure and
quality-structure, while the coupling effects are not obvious in terms of space
structure.
