尽管职业结构被认为是经济变化的主要指标，但在关于近代中国早期经济发展的争论中并不突出。原因之一是在世纪开始之前几乎没有职业数据。本文首次尝试勾勒出了我国城市居民的职业结构。1640年和1952年使用各种独特的和相当分散的职业来源。我们发现，从事农业的人口比例在世纪中期之前一直保持稳定，此后工业人口比例有所增长。
Despite being considered a prime indicator of economic change, the occupational structure does not figure prominently in the debate regarding the economic development of early modern China. One reason is the virtual absence of occupational data before the start of the twentieth century. In this paper, we make a first attempt to sketch the occupational structure between ca. 1640 and 1952 using a variety of unique and rather fragmented occupational sources. We find that the share of persons working in agriculture remained stable until the mid‐nineteenth century, with the share in industry showing some growth thereafter.
