From the perspective of regional coordinated development, the rational flow and optimal allocation of human resources is a crucial support for advancing the construction of the "One Circle, One Belt, Two Zones" in Liaoning Province. In recent years, Liaoning Province has experienced a continuous decline in its total population, a deepening trend of aging, a sustained decrease in the proportion of the working-age population, and a long-term negative natural population growth rate. Although there have been periodic net inflows of inter-provincial population, the scale is limited and insufficient to reverse the overall trend of population contraction and structural aging. The province's human resources exhibit an imbalanced pattern, concentrating in core cities such as Shenyang and Dalian, while less developed areas face continuous outflow, highlighting prominent issues of irrational human resource allocation between regions and between urban and rural areas. This situation directly leads to a widening regional development gap within the province, lagging urban-rural integration, insufficient labor supply, rising labor costs, which undermines the momentum of economic development and also constrains the effective advancement of the regional coordinated development strategy. Based on this, this paper proposes countermeasures and suggestions from three aspects: optimizing the spatial layout of human resources, promoting the orderly flow of human resources between urban and rural areas, and strengthening the development of human resources across all age groups. By balancing regional public services, improving the employment and training systems, and tapping into the potential of human resources across all ages, the efficiency of human resource allocation can be enhanced, alleviating the pressures brought by population aging and contraction, thereby providing stable human resource support for Liaoning Province to achieve regional coordinated development and comprehensive revitalization.
