Summary/Abstract: This research paper examines the transition towards sustainable economic development in Sichuan Province, China, with a focus on the evolution of social-economic structure, industrial upgrading, and labor market dynamics. Sichuan’s journey from an agrarian-based economy to one driven by industrialization and innovation provides a compelling case study for understanding the interplay between economic development and sustainability. The paper reviews relevant theoretical frameworks, such as sustainable development theory and environmental economics, to provide a solid foundation for the analysis. It also explores the broader context of China’s economic transformation and its implications for sustainable development. The research highlights how Sichuan’s social-economic structure has evolved, the relationship between industrial upgrading and sustainable development, and the impact of labor market dynamics on sustainable development. The findings of this study contribute to our understanding of the complexities and opportunities associated with transition towards a more sustainable economy.
