Readjusting Talent Structure in Line With Economic Structural ReadjustmentEconomic structural readjustment is the main focus of China's economic work at present and for a period of time to come.Readjusting the economic structure necessarily requires readjusting the talent structure which, in turn, will further promote the readjustment of economic structure. The interaction relationship between talent structural readjustment and economic structural readjustment determines that accelerating readjustment of the talent structure is the primary task which contains the center around which the work of exploiting talent resources is carried out and serving the general situation during the new historical period. Base and Guarantee for Sustained and Coordinated Economic Development Economic structural readjustment represents a change of ups and downs in the proportion held by various industries and various departments in the entire economy, it is a process of optimizing the economic structure and a process of driving modernization forward. The talent structure is the allocation of, and mutual relations between, talents of various types and at various levels in a country, a region or a work unit, including the allocations of talents of various types, in various specialties and at various levels. The aim of talent structural readjustment is that in the use of talent, it is not only necessary to keep the talent of each person correspondent to his or her post and give effective play to the ability of each individual talent, but also necessary to keep an eye on giving maximum efficiency to the entire talent system which includes each work unit, a department and the entire society. A rational and optimal talent structure can help enlarge, intensify and extend the ability of the talent population, thereby promoting economic development. In today's world, along with economic, scientific and technological development, there is an increasingly urgent demand for the exploitation and rational allocation of talent resources. Because people are the mainstay of social development, so people of all-round development are creators as well as users of knowledge, persons who grasp the newest knowledge are the greatest driving force boosting social and economic development, they also constitute the greatest advantage in economic development Approached from a historical point of view, the orderly appearance of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries is a process of the evolution of the industrial structure, as well as a process of increasing the knowledge-intensive degree and it is closely related to the tapping of talent resources. For knowledge-intensive industries, in particular, their holding of talent and knowledge is more important than their possession of rare natural resources. However, since talents have their social nature, each talent should plays his or her role in the talent structure-an organization formed in accordance with a certain method. So, whether or not a person is properly placed and whether his or her ability is brought into full play not only depends on how each person assumes his or her role, but also depends on whether the structure of the talent population is rational, and whether or not talents of various types and at various levels have formed themselves into an optimal organization. A rational talent structure would promote economic development, whereas an irrational talent structure would affect and hinder economic development. Principles for Talent Structural Readjustment Economic structural readjustment belongs to the category of developing productive forces, while talent structural readjustment belongs to the category of improving the relationship of production, talent structural readjustment should be subordinated to and serve economic structural readjustment and take economic structural readjustment as its orientation. Practice indicates that readjustment of the talent structure should follow the following principles: The principle of mutual complementation of advantage. Along with the development of science and technology and the division of social labor, no talent can master the knowledge of various trades and professions. Just as a person can't be perfect, neither can a talent. However, through an organic combination of various types of talents who learn from others' strong points to make up their deficiencies and who complement each other to form an optimal talent structure of high coordination and low friction, so that various types of talents can give play to their advantages and special skills from different aspects, in this way they can accomplish the undertaking which they cannot not complete single-handedly. Therefore, to establish an optimal talent structure, it is necessary to, proceed from the overall situation, establish a systematic concept, give full consideration to the specific features of each talent, in this way, we can make proper division of labor and form a rational echelon, each talent can give full play to his or her strong points, and their respective shortcomings can be effectively remedied and controlled. The principle of doing things according to particular time and circumstances. A rational talent structure should be formed in accordance with the particular time and circumstances, to do so, it is necessary to give consideration not only to the immediate and long-term needs of economic development in the region and trade concerned, but also to the law and the necessity of the development of science and technology. The one-sided pursuit of a "small but all-inclusive" talent structural system without regard to the practical need and possibility, or talents are required and allocated in accordance with a uniform mode often easily leads to unwieldy institutions, superfluous staff, ineffective operation, and the overstocking and waste of talents. For this reason, to readjust the talent structure, it is necessary to proceed from actual talent resources, give full play to the characteristics and advantages of various localities, and set up talent structures different from each other and full of distinguishing characteristics. Only when there are distinguishing features can there be advantages and higher efficiency.
