中文摘要：

利用1997 ～2009年省际面板数据对我国少数民族地区和其他地区的动态就业弹性进行估计和比较,结果表明：少数民族地区的短期就业弹性显著低于其他地区,在添加了利率和工资水平作为控制变量之后,其他地区的短期就业弹性为少数民族地区的12.36倍.通过对模型估计结果进行分析之后可以得出结论：就业调整速度过低是导致少数民族地区短期就业弹性较小的重要原因.因此,提高少数民族地区的就业调整速度对于提高少数民族地区经济增长对就业增长的带动作用意义重大.

英文摘要：

The paper uses 1997 - 2009 data from the minority areas and other areas and compares their employment elasticity. The results show that even with interest rates and salary as the variables, the short - term employment elasticity is much lower than that of oth- er areas（ 12 -36 times higher）. The slow adjustment rate is a major cause, which plays a key role in such aspect.
