While China used to have a relatively flexible labor market in the manufacturing sector, firms’ reallocation of workers based on market needs has become more difficult in recent years. Greater flexibility might not stimulate short-term growth, but it would improve resilience to future negative shocks, whether they originate at home or abroad.
增加劳动力市场灵活性的改革也很重要。过去，中国制造业劳动力市场相对比较灵活，但近几年来，企业按照市场需要配置工人变得更加困难。增加灵活性也许不能刺激短期增长，但可以改善对未来消极冲击（不管来自国内还是国外）的恢复力。
