国外人才研究中心副主任许佳军在大会发布相关研究成果
国外人才研究中心副主任许佳军在大会介绍了“魅力中国城市”相关研究成果。2024年度中国城市外籍人才吸引力指数显现出如下特征:
第一,持续保持城市群特征,高度契合我国人才中心和创新高地建设的战略布局。前20城市稳定分布在京津冀、长三角、粤港澳大湾区和成渝地区,北京、上海连续五年稳居前两位,成都首次进入前五,武汉、长沙等中部城市吸引力进一步提升。
第二,各地依托比较优势,形成差异化引才竞争力。广州、杭州、深圳以新能源、人工智能等新兴产业汇聚人才;海南自贸港以金融贸易开放增强引才竞争力;义乌作为全球最大的小商品集散中心,成为外籍人才集聚地。
第三,外籍人才最关注城市经济发展和生活便利,对社会环境的满意度最高。数字生活、交通、住房满意率约九成,医疗服务满意度连续三年稳步提升,对子女教育条件表示比较满意的超七成,九成对社会治理与安全比较满意,八成表示城市的文化包容性较高。
第四,职业发展、劳动权益持续提升外籍人才对工作环境的评价。劳动合同履行顺利程度较上一年提升近3.5个百分点。超八成认为中国城市给予了他们比较好的劳动资源和条件保障,认为较好地实现了个人价值。
第五,对外国人的便利化政策实施反响较好。八成受访者认为外籍人才政策具有吸引力,“证卡融合”得到外国专家和聘专单位的一致好评。近九成外籍人才认为出入境较为便利,超半数表示工作和居留许可办理更加便利。
自2010年以来,“魅力中国城市”主题活动已连续开展15年。本次活动得到了全国各地外国专家工作归口管理部门的大力支持和积极配合,数据统计和数值计算由国外人才研究中心与北京工业大学团队合作完成。
国外人才研究中心将持续发挥主题活动对我国城市吸引集聚外籍人才的效果导向,推动各地不断创新外籍人才政策,优化外籍人才工作生活环境,为加快建设世界重要人才中心和创新高地提供研究支撑和决策参考。
Release of the Survey Findings of 2024: “Amazing China– The Most Attractive Chinese Cities in the Eyes of Foreign Talents”
On September 28th, the Foreign Talent Research Center of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released the Survey Findings of 2024 “Amazing China – The Most Attractive Chinese Cities in the Eyes of Foreign Talents” –The Foreign Talent Attraction Index of Chinese Cities at the 2025 Hangzhou International Human Resources Exchange and Cooperation Conference.
This survey selected 64 cities in China with a high concentration of foreign talent (excluding the Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan regions of China) and conducted a questionnaire among foreign talent working and living in these cities. A total of 5487 valid questionnaires were received. The study quantitatively analyzed the evaluations of foreign talents from three dimensions: work satisfaction, living convenience, and environmental friendliness. Based on this, the Foreign Talent Attraction Index of Chinese Cities was derived, reflecting the attraction of Chinese cities to foreign talent.
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Suzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Qingdao, Xiamen, Dalian, Ningbo, Kunming, Haikou, Wuhan, Tianjin, Changsha, Jinan, Zhuhai, and Changzhou are the top 20 cities of the 2024 Foreign Talent Attraction Index.
Besides the supercities and megacities, distinctive large and medium-sized cities are increasingly becoming favored destinations for foreign talents (According to the urban classification standards, large and medium-sized cities refer to those with a permanent urban population of 500,000 to 5,000,000). The top 10 cities of the Foreign Talent Attraction Index of Chinese Large and Medium-Sized Cities are Haikou, Zhuhai, Changzhou, Baoding, Wuxi, Weihai, Shaoxing, Yantai, Weifang, and Yiwu. This index was released for the first time this year.
Based on the three sub-indices of work satisfaction, living convenience, and environmental friendliness, the study also released the top 20 cities recognized by foreign talent as the “City of Opportunities”, “City of Livability”, and “City of Inclusion”. Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, and Suzhou are the top 5 cities of “City of Opportunities”. Beijing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu are among the top 5 cities in the “City of Livability” category. Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Suzhou are the top 5 cities of the “City of Inclusion”.
Xu Jiajun, Deputy Director-General of Foreign Talent Research Center, presented the findings of “the Foreign Talent Attraction Index of Chinese Cities”, and the index shows the following characteristics:
First, the top-ranked cities are concentrated within city clusters, which closely aligns with China’s strategic layout of building talent centers and innovation hubs. The top 20 cities remain consistently distributed across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Area, the Yangtze River Delta, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. Beijing and Shanghai have maintained the top two positions for the fifth consecutive year. Notably, Chengdu broke into the top five for the first time, while central Chinese cities, including Wuhan and Changsha, demonstrated growing attraction.
Second, Chinese cities have developed differentiated competitiveness in attracting talent, leveraging their comparative advantages. Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen are attracting talent through emerging industries such as new energy and artificial intelligence. The Hainan Free Trade Port is enhancing its attraction with open financial and trade policies. Meanwhile, Yiwu, known as the world’s largest hub for small commodities, has become a notable cluster for foreign talent.
Third, economic development and living convenience are the two primary factors that foreign talent considers when choosing a Chinese city. The social environment received the highest level of satisfaction compared to the work and living environment. Around 90% of respondents expressed satisfaction with digital services, transportation, and housing. Satisfaction with medical services has continued to grow steadily for the third consecutive year. Over 70% of respondents were satisfied with their children’s educational conditions. 90% are relatively happy with public security, while 80% consider cities culturally inclusive.
Fourth, career development opportunities and the labor rights and interests protections have continued to improve foreign talent’s evaluation of the work environment. The degree of smooth performance of employment contracts has increased by nearly 3.5% compared to the previous year. More than 80% of foreign talents believe Chinese cities offer good working resources, and an equal proportion of respondents indicate that they can realize their personal value.
Fifth, the implementation of the facilitation policies for foreigners has received a favorable response. 80% of the surveyed talents think the foreign talent policies are attractive. The “Join in Card” has been highly praised by foreign talents and employers. Nearly 90% of foreign talents think the entry and exit procedures are convenient, while over half say the processing of work and residence permits is more convenient than last year.
Since 2010, the “Amazing China” survey project has been carried out for 15 years. This project has received support from the administering authority for foreign experts’ affairs nationwide. The Foreign Talent Research Center and the team from Beijing University of Technology jointly completed the data statistics and numerical calculations.
Based on the survey findings, the Foreign Talent Research Center will continue to enhance the ability of Chinese cities to attract foreign talent. This project will provide support and recommendations for local governments to innovate talent policies, improve living and working environments for foreign talents, and contribute to accelerating China’s development as a talent center and innovation hub.
