Abstract In order to rationally allocate labor resources and realize the coordinated development of regions, we extracted and analyzed the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of China's Inter-provincial Labor Flow (ILF) network in terms of system, node and path by using the complex network theory. The results indicate that the ILF network has obvious agglomeration, hierarchy and path dependence, and region-centered unbalanced mobility is gradually highlighted. The regional siphoning and spillover effects on labor have significant heterogeneity: the east coast remains the core direction of inflow, and labor returns to some areas in the central and western parts of the country, however, on a smaller scale. The center of gravity of labor supply gradually shifts from the central part to the western part of the country. Critical path analysis shows that ILF has some path-dependence effects and that there is a geographic proximity preference in labor flow.
