摘要

摘要人力资本投资经常被建议作为一项政策措施，以应对欧洲各地人口变化造成的劳动力规模较小和年龄较大的问题。然而，人力资本的可获得性和构成从根本上与人口结构交织在一起，特别是在区域一级。本文分析了2000年至2010年间，德国各地区的老龄化与人力资本的区域构成之间的关系。研究结果表明，劳动力老龄化与受教育程度较低有关，年龄较大的劳动力拥有较高的传统职业学位。在国家层面上，教育扩张仍然足以弥补人口老龄化的影响，但区域人力资本构成呈现出明显的趋势。

Labor Force Aging and the Composition of Regional Human Capital

Abstract Human capital investments are frequently suggested as a policy measure to cope with smaller and older labor forces caused by demographic change across Europe. However, the availability and composition of human capital is fundamentally intertwined with demographic structures, especially at a regional level. This article analyzes how aging is related to the regional composition of human capital for German regions between 2000 and 2010. The findings show that labor force aging is associated with lower educational attainment and that older labor forces have higher shares of traditional vocational degrees. On a national level, education expansion still sufficiently compensates for the effects of population aging, but regional human capital composition shows distinct trends.

期刊介绍： Economic Geography is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original research that advances the field of economic geography. Their goal is to publish high-quality studies that are both theoretically robust and grounded in empirical evidence, contributing to our understanding of the geographic factors and consequences of economic processes. It welcome submissions on a wide range of topics that provide primary evidence for significant theoretical interventions, offering key insights into important economic, social, development, and environmental issues. To ensure the highest quality publications, all submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review process with at least three external referees and an editor. Economic Geography has been owned by Clark University since 1925 and plays a central role in supporting the global activities of the field, providing publications and other forms of scholarly support. The journal is published five times a year in January, March, June, August, and November.
