Abstract
Since the reform and opening up, China's labor income share has shown a downward trend, and a series of negative impacts such as slow economic growth caused by low labor income share and widening income gap among residents have hindered development. This article studies the relationship between graduate student size and labor income share from the perspective of human capital, and uses graduate student size data from 26 provinces and cities in China from 2002 to 2017 to conduct regression analysis on China's labor income share. The results indicate that changes in human capital caused by the size of graduate students have a positive effect on labor income share. And provide corresponding suggestions on how to increase the share of labor income.
