From: Developing China’s workforce skill taxonomy reveals extent of labor market polarization
a The skills that are effectively used by a city are highlighted in the skill space. Two cities representing high- and low-level cognitive scores were selected as examples. b Strong correlation is found between the GDP per capita and the city cognitive scores. Cities of higher administrative power, so called “sub-provincial or above” cities, highlighted in blue, tend to have greater cognitive scores and GDP per capita than their peers. c The scatter diagram shows a weak relationship between city’s cognitive scores and its population size.
