Data For: Influence of skill relatedness on the location choice of heterogeneous labor force in Chinese prefecture-level cities

High-quality regional development should be promoted by facilitating inter-regional mobility of heterogeneous labor force to optimize its spatial allocation. This study incorporates skill relatedness into spatial categorization and selection effects, and explores how skill-relatedness affects heterogeneous labor force’ location choices. To examine the effect, we use labor force migration data and employee data by occupation subcategory in prefecture-level cities from the China 2000 National Population Census and China 2015 National Population Sample Survey microdata sets. The file "calculation of migration rate" is the calculation data and calculation process of the labor migration rate. The file 'calculation of skill relatedess'' is the calculation data and calculation process of skill data of variable. The file "data of variable" is relevant data for an empirical test of the impact of skill data of variable on heterogeneous labor location selection.
