Abstract

China’s talent cultivation plan, the National Medium- and Long-term Talent Development Plan (2010), is a blueprint for creating a highly skilled national work force in the next 10 years. The goal is the transformation of China from a manufacturing hub to a world leader in innovation. The paper explores dimensions of the national talent plan in terms of China’s industrial sector, investment, demographic changes, labour markets, and capacity to retain talented people. China needs to transform its workforce from one that is labor-intensive to one that is talent-rich.
