Abstract:

Under the new wave of global talent mobility, facing the strategic task of accelerating the construction of a world-class talent center and building a strong talent nation, how China can better attract and retain talents has become one of the urgent issues of the present time. The premise for addressing this issue of the times is to clarify the laws of talent mobility. The study of the geography of talent mobility started early abroad. Its research themes, methods, frameworks, and contributions to talent policy formulation can provide valuable experience and reference for research of geography of talent mobility in China. This article focuses on the research progress and key concerns in the field of international talent mobility geography abroad, summarizing and comparing it with relevant domestic research. The research found that: ①The focus of foreign geography community on talent mobility has gradually added 'reverse brain drain' and 'brain circulation' under the perspective of competition and cooperation to 'brain drain' under the perspective of competition. The research theme gradually developed from the macroscopic perspective of scientific and technological competition among nations to the microscopic scale of individual characteristics of talents. In terms of research on the driving factors of talent mobility, the focus of foreign talent geography research has gradually shifted to exploring the social relationships and individual characteristics of talents, building upon the foundation of national/regional difference; ②The geographical research on domestic talent mobility is highly practical and policy-oriented, focusing mainly on talent mobility patterns and driving factors within China. The talents involved are mainly top academic talents or a wider range of highly educated labor force. The purpose of research on domestic talent mobility is mainly to reveal the direction and causes of talent mobility and to propose relevant policies to attract/retain talents. Compared with foreign literature, there are still many deficiencies and unfinished aspects in the academic research on talent mobility in China. In this regard, the article finally proposes the main direction for future research in talent mobility within the field of Chinese talent geography.

Key words: talent geography, talent mobility, mobility patterns, driving mechanism, the strategy of reinvigorating China through human resource development

摘要:

在全球人才流动的新浪潮下,面向加快建设人才强国、建设世界重要人才中心的战略任务,中国如何更好地引进人才并留住人才成了时下紧迫课题之一,而该任务的前提是理清人才流动的客观规律。国外人才流动相关研究起步较早,其研究主题、研究方法、研究框架以及相关人才政策制定的经验能够为中国人才流动空间研究相关议题提供经验借鉴。对此,本文重点关注国外人才流动空间研究的发展进程及主要议题,并对国内相关研究进行总结、对比。研究发现:①国外学界对人才流动的关注在竞争视角下的“人才流失”中加入了竞合视角下的“人才回流”和“人才循环”,研究主题也逐渐从宏观的国家间科技竞合发展为更加重视流动中人才的微观个体特征。在人才流动驱动因素上,国外人才流动研究的关注焦点也在国家/地区间差异的基础上加入了对人才个体的社会关系与个体特征的探索;②国内人才流动研究的实用性和政策性较强,主要关注中国地域内的人才流动模式、驱动因素,研究对象主要是顶尖学术人才或更为广泛的高学历劳动力,研究目的主要是揭示人才流动的方向和成因,以及对此提出吸引/留住人才的相关政策。相较于国外,国内人才流动相关研究仍有许多未尽之处,对此文章最后提出了未来中国人才地理学在人才流动研究中的若干方向。
