Research on the Coordinated Development of Secondary Vocational Education and Regional Economy in China and Its Influencing Factors

基于2010年、2015年和2020年的省域面板数据，选取耦合协调度和地理探测器，探讨省域中等职业教育与区域经济协调发展情况及其空间分布特征，探寻影响耦合协调发展的因素。结果表明：1) 从时间趋势上看，各省中等职业教育与经济发展之间的耦合协调度均呈现上升趋势；从相对差距来看，呈现为稳定的“东部 > 中部 > 西部”的空间格局。2) 地理探测器表明，人力资本存量、对外开放程度和市场化水平是影响耦合协调度的主要因子。研究结果可为区域中等职业教育与区域经济高质量发展提供对策建议。Based on the provincial panel data of 2010, 2015, and 2020, the coupling coordination degree and geographical detector are selected to explore the coordinated development of provincial secondary vocational education and regional economy and its spatial distribution characteristics and to explore the factors affecting the coupling and coordinated development. The results show that: 1) From the perspective of time trend, the coupling coordination degree between secondary vocational education and economic development in each province shows an upward trend; from the perspective of the relative gap, it shows a stable spatial pattern of “eastern > central > western”. 2) The geographical detector shows that the stock of human capital, the degree of opening to the outside world, and the level of marketization are the main factors affecting the degree of coupling coordination. The research results can provide countermeasures and suggestions for the high-quality development of regional secondary vocational education and the regional economy.
