Abstract
There exist strong direct and indirect employment contributions in producer services, which have become an important way to solve the employment problems in developed countries. In contrast, the overall employment ratio of producer services is low in China. It is important and necessary to study the influencing factors of producer services employment in order to fully explore the employment growth potential of producer services and promote the solution of current structural employment difficulties in China. This paper analyzes the conditions, under which the development of producer services drive the employment growth from the perspectives of demand and supply. The theoretical model of the influencing factors of producer services employment is constructed and the empirical method is adopted to measure the influencing effects of these factors. It is helpful for policy makers to grasp the key of producer services employment at the implementation level, so as to more actively and effectively defuse the negative impacts of economic recessions on the employment and alleviate the current employment pressures in China.
