The conference will mark the release of the 14th annual China Human Capital Report-2022. It will feature distinguished keynote speeches, plenary and parallel sessions on critical topics related to human capital and labor markets on December 17 preceded by an onsite reception on December 16 if the situation permits. The meeting will be a hybrid of in-person and virtual event.
This year’s conference is a tribute to honor Harvard University Professor Dale W. Jorgenson (https://scholar.harvard.edu/jorgenson/home). Professor Jorgenson co-founded Jorgenson-Fraumeni life-time income approach to human capital measurement. This approach has been used by the OECD, World Bank, and in estimating China human capital stock for the China Human Capital Report series. Professor Jorgenson provided strong support to the China human capital measurement research project since 2009. He also served as a member in the Advisory Board of the CHLR.
