Abstract: Abstract This study explores the relationship between regional development factors and human capital using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), focusing on the impact of regional economic activities and industrial innovation characteristics on human capital quality and labor market dynamics. The results show that regional economic activities (PC_X1) have a significant positive effect on human capital quality (PC_Y1), while industrial innovation characteristics (PC_X2) negatively impact human capital quality. Further panel regression analysis indicates that regional economic activities enhance labor force quality by promoting the expansion of educational resources, skill training, and employment opportunities. In contrast, industrial innovation may increase the demand for high-skilled labor, leaving low-skilled labor underserved, thus leading to labor market segmentation. The analysis of individual effects emphasizes the impact of long-term regional fixed factors such as educational resource allocation, infrastructure development, and policy environment on human capital disparities. This study provides theoretical foundations and practical recommendations for regional policymakers in promoting balanced economic development and optimizing human capital allocation.
