Abstract

Since 2014,the central government and governments at all levels have issued many "widespread entrepreneurship and innovation" policies to encourage and support innovative entrepreneurship. Innovative entrepreneurship often requires participants to have a certain level of knowledge or skills. Based on the individual survey data of China Laborforce Dynamics Survey (CLDS) in 2012,2014 and 2016,this paper investigates the impact of workers' skills on their entrepreneurial behaviors in the context of policy paradigm shift,and further tests the impact of different kinds of skills. The results show that the emergence of "widespread entrepreneurship and innovation" policies can promote the entrepreneurship of workers,but the skilled and high skilled workers are not fully encouraged,they are more inclined to be employed than to start a business. Therefore,the state should make full use of "widespread entrepreneurship and innovation" policies to provide more targeted supportive environments for skilled workers to carry out entrepreneurial activities,to effectively encourage the development of innovative entrepreneurship and drive the innovative transformation of the economy.
