Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated three trends that were already transforming economic development theory and practice. A backlash to economic restructuring and inequality, driven by globalization and technology, is now manifesting in reshoring and union movements. The resurgence of small and midsized cities, originally driven by increasing housing costs in coastal cities, has been reinforced by a rise in remote work. The uncertainty of today's complex economy is exacerbating long-term challenges of tracking economic change, making “shoot anything that flies” more important than ever. These trends highlight the need to focus economic development on building and supporting the workforce.
我们能“认领”劳动力吗?面对不确定的未来,以劳动为中心的经济发展议程
新冠肺炎疫情加速了已经在转变经济发展理论和实践的三种趋势。在全球化和技术的推动下,对经济结构调整和不平等的强烈反对现在表现在回流和工会运动中。中小城市的复苏最初是由沿海城市住房成本的增加推动的,但远程工作的增加加强了这一复苏。当今复杂经济的不确定性加剧了追踪经济变化的长期挑战,使“射杀任何飞起来的东西”比以往任何时候都更重要。这些趋势凸显了将经济发展重点放在劳动力建设和支持上的必要性。

期刊介绍: Economic development—jobs, income, and community prosperity—is a continuing challenge to modern society. To meet this challenge, economic developers must use imagination and common sense, coupled with the tools of public and private finance, politics, planning, micro- and macroeconomics, engineering, and real estate. In short, the art of economic development must be supported by the science of research. And only one journal—Economic Development Quarterly: The Journal of American Economic Revitalization (EDQ)—effectively bridges the gap between academics, policy makers, and practitioners and links the various economic development communities.
