This paper takes China’s economic data from 1978 to 2020 as a sample, combined with indicators such as a correlation coefficient, degree of deviation, and employment elasticity, to carry out a correlation analysis on employment structure, industrial structure, and economic growth. On this basis, a regression model is established to characterize the impact of economic structure deviation on economic growth, and the linkage relationship between employment structure, industrial structure, and economic growth is further explored through a vector self-regression model. The research results show that: the degree of deviation of China’s economic structure is weakening, and the economic structure is continuously optimized; the improvement of the degree of deviation of the economic structure has a significant contribution to China’s economic growth; the impact of the industrial structure on the employment structure is first strong and then slow; the impact of economic growth on the industrial structure is lagging and long-term; the impact of the optimization of the employment structure on economic growth is most obvious in the early stage; the impact of economic growth on the employment structure is more direct; the adjustment of the industrial structure shows a certain stickiness; and that economic transformation and high-quality development require continuous advancement. This paper describes the impact of structural deviation on economic growth and reveals the interactive impact of industrial structure, employment structure, and economic growth, which can provide decision-making reference for policy makers. Specifically, it includes formulating policies to realize skills spillover to improve the employment structure; formulating policies to promote industrial integration to optimize industrial structure; formulating policies to encourage innovation so as to promote the improvement of total factor productivity and then drive the adjustment and optimization of industrial structures and employment structures; and finally, encouraging policy makers to ensure the persistence and consistency of relevant policies so that the effects of relevant policies can be truly realized.

Agricultural insurance is a kind of compensation insurance designed to provide protection for the economic losses caused by insured accidents suffered by agricultural producers in agricultural production. Rural revitalization refers to the strategy of improving the level of rural economic, social and cultural development and achieving coordinated and sustainable development of urban and rural development. Agricultural insurance can effectively diversify risks and reduce losses for agricultural producers, which plays an important role in stabilizing farmers’ income, helping rural economic development, and promoting rural revitalization. Based on the theoretical analysis of the mechanism of agricultural insurance on rural revitalization, this paper empirically studies the effect of agricultural insurance on rural revitalization by using panel data from various provinces in China from 2011 to 2020.1 In this paper, the TOPSIS entropy weight method, the system generalized method of moments (GMM) and the threshold model are used to calculate the actual development level of rural revitalization in each province of China, the promotion effect of agricultural insurance on the development level of rural revitalization and the promotion of rural revitalization in five dimensions, and whether there is a threshold effect of agricultural insurance on rural revitalization. The empirical results show that: (1) The level of rural revitalization in various provinces in China shows a dynamic trend of “overall slow rise, with obvious differences between provinces.” (2) Improving the development level of agricultural insurance can drive the improvement of China’s rural revitalization level, and every 1 unit increase in the development level of agricultural insurance will drive the level of China’s rural revitalization to increase by 0.1633 units. At the same time, the role of agricultural insurance on social etiquette and civility is not significant, and the role of the remaining four rural revitalization goals is significant. (3) Agricultural insurance has a significant effect on the level of rural revitalization in eastern provinces, but does not play a significant role in rural revitalization in central and western provinces. (4) The role of agricultural insurance on rural revitalization has a double threshold effect. Accordingly, this paper puts forward some suggestions for increasing the capital investment in agricultural insurance, innovating the new mode of agricultural insurance operation, promoting the in-depth development of agricultural insurance according to local conditions, and reasonably adjusting the capital investment of agricultural insurance. Finally, because the data used in this paper do not cover the entire process of rural revitalization and the research is mainly carried out from a macro perspective, there are still some shortcomings in this paper.
