Building a modern, harmonious,and creative high-income society in Minority areas related to national security. Party Central Committee pays great attention to the development of minority areas and implements long-term aid-based development strategy. But the aid-based projects from the government are majorly fund-intensive and technology-intensive. Local labor force has a low participation due to the limitations of the cultural qualities and professional skills then cause an influx of external Han alien labor force. Thus other countries in the international point out the flow of external Han alien labor posing a threat to minorities.As we study the "Jiama Copper Polymetallic Mine (JCPM)" economic area in Tibet, first of all, we should evaluate the aid-based development strategy’s capacity of absorbing the local labor force, and discuss the relationship between external Han alien labor force and local economy and the influence to local labor force’s employment. Next we predict the local labor supply, employment behavior and relative factors, discuss the disproportion of existing development strategy and local labor market. Last but not the least, based on Tibet’s resources endowment advantage, we explore the improvement of economy growth, income distribution and economic volatility and others by creating employment strategies to put forward the regional development pattern of promoting employment.We set up a regional econometric model of Jia Ma Copper Mmulti-metal Mmine labour market, in which both labour demand and supply are endogenously determined and thus unemployment is determined by their interaction. Therefore, we model labour demand in the industrial sector and in private services, while labour supply is split into two components which define respectively the participation rate and self employment. The model simulations evaluate the response of the regional labour market, in comparison with the national one, to exogenous shocks depending on shocks in either demand or supply. The intersectoral difference highlights the fact that industry, although declining in terms of employment, still maintains a crucial role in generating employment multiplier effects, which in turn may reduce unemployment. This evidence has important policy implications, as it suggests that industrial policy may play a crucial role in stimulating labour demand and supply, and through this route the whole regional growth process.On the other hand, this paper develops an econometric model for studying the structure of regional labor markets. We estimate the model for three representative Mo-zhu-gong ka. The simulation results of these heterogeneous states reveal substantial structural differences in the short as well as the long-run. These differences impact on labor demand and labor supply and, hence, call for investigating demand and supply of labor instead of merely the unemployment rate. The revealed commonalities and differences may help regional as well as national policy makers to formulate policies tailored at the specific needs of regional labor markets.The thesis is divided into six chapters. The first chapter is the introduction, focusing on analysis of the background, significance, research status, articles main research methods, research, and technology roadmap intends to solve the key problems. The second chapter is the theoretical basis of resource-based regional development theory, including the resource curse theory, the the labor transfer theory, the industrial structure evolution theory. The third chapter summarizes regional economic development status, focusing on the analysis of the regional population, industrial structure, labor and employment, and to explore the relationship between the regional resource extraction and economic development, and focus on the Jiama Copper Polymetallic Mine development brought wealth to the area andpotential risks that may arise. The forth chapter focuses on Jiama Copper Polymetallic Zone labor transfer and regional development, Jiama Mine as a case, investigates the entry and employment of foreign labor in the exploitation of the resource-based areas, mechanical analysis of the local labor force growth and employment pathways, the study foundwith increasing resource-based regional development efforts, the transfer of foreign non-Tibetan labor significantly, while the regional industrial structure is also changing, the output value of the tertiary industry and the structure of employment in the upgrade, but compared with the foreign labor, local labor due totechnical level and cultural qualities of the impact is difficult to obtain better employment pathways, the existing model of development to provide jobs in the local labor could not do, increasing the degree of resource extraction exacerbated regional natural disaster risk, while area residents income risescontradictions between personal values to achieve the development strategy of the resource rich region of central assistance type easily lead to the "resource curse".In Chapter5, on the basis of the analysis, the author selected for regional development model based on the local labor force, from the flexibility of the labor force, the structure of industrial development degree of deviation index were starting to explore the development of central assistance strategy to absorb the local labor forcelimitations of existing resources exploitation strategy to disaster risk, proposed as the core of the development model to promote the employment of local labor, that is, the implementation of the strategy of comparative advantage based on labor-intensive industries, based on regional culture, social resources, increase laborincrease the income of peasants and herdsmen; employment on the basis of Chapter6is the conclusion and outlook, summarized in the summary of the study’s main conclusions and future research directions.The main conclusions are:(1) Due to the unique population policy and childbearing culture,the rate of population growth is fast and the machinery growth of working population is obviously in Jiama Copper Poly metal District; With the increase of mining intensity of China National Gold Group Corporation which is a large state-owned enterprises in this area, we can see nonfarm metastasis in rural labor turn to significantly, Jiama Copper-Polymetallic Mine and its surrounding area is in a "demographic dividend period".(2) The implementation of the development projects of the central government’s assistance created a number of non-farm employment opportunities, but it departure from the local labor supply market because of the high-requirement of cultural qualities and professional skills as well as the limited absorb degree of local workforce considering current development strategy.(3) Based on regional resource endowments and labor market characteristics, realizing the transition of capital and technology-intensive industries to labor-intensive industries and implementing the strategy of job creation under the premise of the construction of infrastructure basically completed can effectively improve the performance of economic growth, ease the contradictions of income distribution and reduce the economic volatility.(4) Urban system construction which based on new urbanization strategy can concentrate dispersed surplus labor in rural effectively, promote the division and employment of the labor force. The government adopting innovative financial system and assisting the development of regional agriculture herdsman’s micro and small enterprises can promote regional employment effectually.(5) Multiple benefits of economic, social and environmental must be considered in resource exploitation in resource-based regions of Tibet, with particular emphasis on the formation and governance of the geological disasters, focus on ecological protection and reconstruction, establish special projects such as mining conservation, the geologic hazard prevention, tailings reconstruction etc. It can improve the proportion of employment of local labor and ameliorate the mining environment effectively, finally turn to a both livable and sustained multi-level and comprehensive worker Mining Development Area.The research results are expected to achieve a breakthrough in the national regional institutional arrangements, economic development, income distribution and other aspects, have important significance to improve the minority areas autogenetic ability to achieve a coordinated regional development and can effectively refute the "external Han alien labor threat theory".
