"At present, most fishermen are older and their skills are relatively simple. Coupled with the impact of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, it is not difficult for them to switch to employment. We do feel the same." Song Xin pointed out that human resources and social security departments at all levels will firmly implement the party The central government and the State Council decided to deploy and follow the requirements of the latest documents issued by the State Council, insist on classified policies and precise assistance, and earnestly grasp the job placement of retired fishermen.
Song Xin pointed out that in terms of employment channels, it can be summarized as "four batches." One is to develop a batch of industrial resettlement. Relying on the ecological advantages of the resources along the river and the lake, the technical expertise of aquatic fisheries such as fishermen withdrawing from fishing will be utilized to vigorously develop the fish-related industries such as integrated rice and fish breeding, pond fish farming, aquatic product processing, and leisure fisheries, and increase industry employment space. At the same time, it also adopted a market-based operation method to carry out unified ecological protection and restoration in suitable lake areas and reservoir areas, and attracted and returned fishermen to participate in resource conservation.
The second is a group of job placements. Fully explore the local employment channels such as agricultural production, engineering construction, enterprise absorption, poverty alleviation workshops, etc., increase the number of job pushes, job introductions, and career guidance for retired fishermen who are willing to convert to employment, and carry out vocational training on a large scale to improve retirement. The fishermen’s employability can help them achieve employment as soon as possible.

Provide a one-time entrepreneurial subsidy according to regulations. If self-raised funds are insufficient, guide local governments to implement the policy of guaranteed loans for entrepreneurship in a timely manner.
The fourth is to help arrange a group of people at the bottom of the pocket. For some older and long-term unemployed retired fishermen, they are identified as persons with employment difficulties in a timely manner, and provide “one-to-one” assistance services and targeted policy assistance. For those who are really difficult to find employment through market channels, coordinate the resettlement of retired fishermen. In response to the requirements of the ban on monitoring and supervision tasks, the government should guide the returning fishermen to participate in inspection and supervision through the purchase of services by the government.
"The next step, we will work with the agricultural, rural, development and reform and financial departments to make the resettlement of fishermen a major political task, insist on taking multiple measures, strengthen policy implementation, and strive to help the fishermen to go ashore for employment and realize the ability of fishermen to return. Through your own work, start a new happy life." Song Xin said.
