ABSTRACT: This paper uses the data of prefecture-level and above cities to
establish a model to study the impact of employment opportunities on population
agglomeration. It is found as follows: First, on the whole, employment
opportunities have a significant impact on population agglomeration. Sub-industry, industrial and
modern services Employment have a significant positive impact on population agglomeration, and the
impact of employment in traditional services
is not significant. Secondly, the impact of employment on population
agglomeration is decreasing after 2012. The impact of industrial employment on
population agglomeration has become insignificant. The impact of modern service
industry employment on population agglomeration is still significant, but its
influence is gradually decreasing. Finally, from other variables, the initial
population density, infrastructure level and medical level are positively correlated with population agglomeration, and the
level of economic development is negatively correlated with population
agglomeration.
