Applying the Rule of Social Mobility in Identifying Policy Frameworks to Attract High-Quality Science and Technology Human Resources to Universities

Abstract

The fourth industrial revolution has created a great boost in the development of technology, prompting countries to seek intelligent management solutions in all fields. This also brings opportunities and challenges in attracting and using high-quality human resources for organizations and countries in current global competition. According to Klaus Schwab, who introduced the term Fourth Industrial Revolution, talent, rather than capital, will represent the factor of production. This is both an opportunity and a challenge for organizations and countries in the competition for high-quality scientific and technological human resources. Universities are also on this trend. The article will analyze the need to apply the rule of social mobility in policy identification to attract high-quality science and technology human resources to universities. These research contents initially contribute to providing the arguments for the process of making policies to attract talents or high-quality scientific and technological human resources in universities in the context of the fourth industrial revolution.

Keywords:

Social mobility, the Fourth industrial revolution, policies to attract high-quality science and technology human resources.
