Manpower demand forecasting of Strategic Emerging Industry in China: Based on grey system methodology

摘要

In 2011, the State government of China has pinpointed seven industries as Strategic Emerging Industries(Short for SEI Industry). This paper predicts the manpower demand of China's seven strategic emerging industries by using grey prediction model, taking time series data(from 2009–2012) of 346 Chinese main-board listed companies from CSMAR. The results show that the total manpower demand of Chinese strategic emerging industries will reach 1516792 in 2015 and the number will increase to 2779007 in 2020.
