New Quality Productive Forces and the Development of New Flexible Employment Models Constraints and Pathways

Abstract

Based on the developmental context of the era of New Quality Productive Forces, this paper systematically analyzes the connotations, theoretical mechanisms, and developmental constraints of new flexible employment models, proposing a multi-dimensional collaborative development pathway. The study indicates that new flexible employment models are characterized by technological embeddedness, platform-based collaboration, and diversified value exchange. Their development requires overcoming the structural contradictions between traditional labor institutions and skills supply. By constructing a safeguard system through institutional innovation and policy synergy, strengthening technology empowerment and the application of data elements, deepening the reform of the education system, promoting the synergistic development of the platform economy ecosystem and social value, and improving the social security and risk-sharing mechanisms, the current constraints can be effectively addressed. Driven by New Quality Productive Forces, flexible employment models are not only an inevitable choice for the labor market to adapt to technological change but also a crucial pathway to achieve the “free and comprehensive development of individuals” and high-quality economic development.
