Talent strategy provides important support for China's comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. As a key force for industrial transformation and upgrading

skilled talents and the implementation effectiveness of relevant policies are directly related to high-quality regional development. Zhejiang Province is fully promoting the construction of a province-wide skills-based society. As a pioneer of reform and opening-up and a typical representative of county-level economic transformation

Yiwu is accelerating its transformation into an industrial and commercial city. Advanced manufacturing

cross-border e-commerce

logistics trade and other industries are booming

and the contradiction between the supply and demand of skilled talents has become increasingly prominent. In recent years

Yiwu has continuously improved its skilled talent policy system. The total number of skilled talents exceeded 400

000 in 2024

and Yiwu was selected as one of the first batch of provincial incentive areas for skills-based society construction in Zhejiang in 2025. However

policy implementation still faces many common dilemmas. Based on the context-extended Smith Policy Implementation Model

this paper adopts a combination of questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews to systematically sort out the current situation

practical dilemmas and deep-seated causes of skilled talent policy implementation in Yiwu

and puts forward optimization paths from four dimensions: ideal policy

implementation subjects

target groups and environmental factors. The research results can provide practical references for the implementation of skilled talent policies in similar county-level cities.
