XUE Qixin， WU Ruijun

Abstract： As an important player participating in the international competitions， high-level human resources are critical to the innovation and talent-driven development process. Taking distinguished professors of the Cheung Kong Scholars Programme in the Yangtze River Delta region as the research object， this study establishes a high-level human resources database by means of CV analysis， and analyzes the spatio-temporal pattern and structural characteristics of high-level human resources. It is found that the features of high-level human resources in the Yangtze River Delta region have been changing over time. The specialty spectrum is gradually balancing; the national proportion of human resources from the Yangtze River Delta region is gradually decreasing. In terms of spatial distribution， the provincial concentration degree of human resources is related to the per capita GDP ranking and the number of first-class universities and disciplines of the world. Different provinces and cities have formed differentiated human resources pools. The high-level human resources in the Yangtze River Delta region are mainly specialized in engineering， science and medicine， which have been similar to the disciplinary structure on the national level. In terms of gender proportion， the number of male is higher than that of female. Therefore， the high-level personnel management system must constantly be improved ?to accumulate new momentum and advantages for modernization and high-quality development.

Abstract： Chinas urbanization process and its aging population have given rise to a special group of mobile population， the elderly urban immigrants. On the basis of grounded theory， this paper uses NVivo 12 Plus to conduct qualitative analysis based on 28 in-depth interviews with the elderly urban immigrants. Starting from the current situation of the social network of elderly urban immigrants in different regions， and supported by the network composition type， a comparative analysis of the construction model and pathway of social network for is found that there exists four different types social network construction models including “Reed type”， “Moss type”， “Swallow type” and “Free bird type”. The construction paths include emotional network of micro-environment influence based on relational order regression， social network based on community and neighborhood， and policy support tool network based on field inclusion. The choice of passively returning home or actively staying reflects that the returning elderlies intentions to integrate into the social network lacked the support of network construction mechanisms and fund. Based on the above， corresponding optimization paths are proposed relating to the social security system， public facilities for the elderly， and adaptive community activities for elderly urban immigrants.
