"Worker's Daily" (version 05 on January 3, 2022)
Looking back to 2021, news events of all sizes in the labor field will continue.
Focusing on the focus of workers’ attention, we have selected 10 hot words that have been widely spread in the public opinion field-common prosperity, labor creates happiness, worker teaching, skills leaving the circle, new employment forms, delayed retirement, soul bargaining, double reduction, three Children, cancel the big and small weeks, and explain them, and share with readers.
Some hot words reflect people’s common expectations: common prosperity presents people’s yearning for a better life; to be diligent in creativity and courage, and to use labor to create happiness; implement delayed retirement flexibly, and increase the space for individuals to choose early retirement; high Skilled talents were rated as "worker professors", and skilled workers have more hope and rush; "soul bargaining" reappears, allowing more people to benefit from medical insurance; expecting more workers to get out of the circle with skills and realize their dreams with skills...

After canceling the big and small weeks, can "weekend freedom" be realized...
These hot words of labor bear a distinctive imprint of the times, and to a certain extent also express the state of labor and inner emotions.
With the development of society, the hot words of labor will continue to change.
However, struggle is an eternal theme.
In the new year, it is hoped that workers will radiate enthusiasm for work, release their creative potential, and create a better life through work.
Common prosperity
Paraphrase
The tenth meeting of the Central Finance and Economics Committee to be held in August 2021 will study the issue of solid promotion of common prosperity, and make it clear that common prosperity is the prosperity of all people, the material and spiritual life of the people are rich, not the prosperity of a few people, nor is it tidy. Uniform egalitarianism must promote common prosperity in stages.
observe
At present, our country has entered a historical stage of solidly promoting common prosperity.
To achieve common prosperity, it is not only necessary to "big the cake", but also to "divide the cake", build a basic system arrangement for the coordination of primary distribution, redistribution, and three distributions, expand the proportion of middle-income groups, and increase the incomes of low-income groups. It is reasonable. Regulate high income and form an olive-shaped distribution structure with a large middle and small ends.
At present, the number of skilled workers in my country has exceeded 200 million, and they are an important part of the middle-income group.
Many people believe that in the process of expanding the size of the middle-income group, it is necessary to increase the wages of skilled workers and at the same time promote the income distribution of enterprises to actively tilt towards frontline workers.
Common prosperity is a long-term goal.
There is no shortcut to achieving common prosperity. We must encourage diligence and innovation to get rich, improve employment and entrepreneurship ability, and enhance the ability to get rich.
The journey is long, only struggle!
Work creates happiness
Paraphrase
"Work creates happiness and hard work makes great achievements." On the occasion of the "May 1st" International Labor Day in 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping extended holiday congratulations and sincere condolences to the working people, hoping that the working people can devote themselves to comprehensive construction with confidence A modern socialist country and the great cause of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
observe
General Secretary Xi Jinping's holiday congratulations and sincere condolences to the working people across the country are a great encouragement to hundreds of millions of workers.
"The people's livelihood is diligent, but diligence is not lacking."
Today, all the achievements and happiness we have come from labor and creation.
Generations of laborers have used hard work to realize their dreams in life, and contributed to the development of the country with love and dedication.
2021 is a year of special importance in the process of my country's modernization drive. The "14th Five-Year Plan" begins, and a new journey to comprehensively build a socialist modern country begins.
Standing at the confluence of history, we are deeply aware that to achieve our goals and create a better future, we must rely on hard work, honest work, and creative work. Every dream chaser must continue to run and work hard.
With the increasingly refined division of labor in society, everyone can find a vast world in labor, embody value in labor, feel happiness, and create a happy life.
Soul bargaining
Paraphrase
"Have you tried your best?" At the 2021 medical insurance catalog drug negotiation site, the "famous scene" of soul bargaining reappeared.
The negotiators of the National Medical Insurance Administration repeatedly bargained prices with corporate negotiators.
During this process, the "700,000 yuan per shot" rare disease drug Noxinagen Sodium Injection was included in the medical insurance.
observe
"Soul bargaining" has far-reaching significance, which is a vivid interpretation of "the people are supreme and life is supreme".
For every dollar cut, a considerable amount of medical insurance funds can be saved, which will benefit more people.
"Every small group should not be given up." At the negotiation scene, the words of the negotiator of the Medical Insurance Bureau were moving.
In 2021, 7 of the drugs that are included in medical insurance through "soul bargaining" are drugs for rare diseases.
Small but expensive drugs for rare diseases are included in medical insurance, bringing hope to thousands of families.
From the “4.4 yuan 4 too much, ugly, and cheaper” diabetes treatments in 2019, to the anti-tumor targeted drugs “not like squeezing toothpaste” in 2020, and to rare disease drugs in 2021. More and more life-saving and emergency medicines are included in medical insurance at reduced prices to meet the basic drug needs of the majority of insured persons and greatly reduce their financial burden.
Double minus
Paraphrase
In July 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Reducing the Work Burden of Students in Compulsory Education and the Burden of Off-campus Training", marking the official implementation of the "double reduction" policy and reinvigorating the education and training industry. Fully regulate off-campus training behavior.
observe
Under the "double reduction", some education and training institutions have suspended recruitment, and some institutions have adjusted their business. As a result, the work of teachers in many education and training institutions has been affected.
Researchers estimate that between 3 million and 4 million people need to be transferred from their existing positions for reemployment or redevelopment.
It is not an easy task to transfer and set off again.
In order to help education and training practitioners to re-employ, Beijing, Hainan, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places have strengthened their job reserves in a targeted manner, and held special job fairs for those who need to change jobs to accurately push policy and service information.
Education and training practitioners are mostly under the age of 35, have received higher education, and are faced with multiple choices such as shifting to quality education, adult education track, entering schools, and cross-industry development.
The vast world is promising.
I hope they can adjust their mentality, combine their own abilities and professional interests, and find new development opportunities.
New forms of employment
Paraphrase
At present, the number of workers in new forms of employment such as takeaway brothers, courier brothers, and online car-hailing drivers has increased significantly.
Different from standard employment and traditional flexible employment, the new employment form has the characteristics of low threshold, large capacity, high degree of freedom, and good flexibility. It provides a large number of jobs and becomes an important channel for absorbing employment.
observe
According to the "Report on China's Sharing Economy Development (2021)" released by the National Information Center's Sharing Economy Research Center, the number of jobs driven by the platform in 2020 is approximately 84 million, an increase of approximately 7.7% year-on-year.
The vigorous development of new business forms is accompanied by some shortcomings in the protection of labor rights: labor relations need to be clarified, occupational injury protection needs to be strengthened, and the rest system needs to be improved...
In order to strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of workers in new employment forms, in 2021, the State Council will hold an executive meeting to conduct research, and the National Federation of Trade Unions, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other departments have intensively issued a batch of "top-level designs."
These policies point to the same goal: to improve the systems of labor remuneration, rest, occupational safety, etc., and build a "protection net" for the rights and interests of workers in new forms of employment, which means that the maintenance of labor security rights and interests of workers in new forms of employment has entered the institutionalization, Standardization stage.
We expect that every worker in a new form of employment will be treated with gentleness.
Skills out of the circle
Paraphrase
The sassy and beautiful "auto repair girl" is popular all over the Internet, and the topics of "vocational school students with 2 to 4 offers" and "vocational and technical college students are robbed before graduation" have caused hot searches... 2021, more and more The more workers who have mastered a skill "fire" out of the circle with their skills, so that more people can see that by taking the road of skills, they can also achieve a wonderful life.
observe
In the summer of 2021, Gu Huijing, a sweet-looking "auto repair girl" from Shenzhen Vocational School, unexpectedly went out of the circle after winning the first prize in the mechanical and electrical maintenance competition of the Guangdong Vocational College Student Professional Skills Competition. She used her strength to prove her skills. The stage of life will be as high as it is.
At present, there are more than 200 million skilled workers in my country.
Like Gu Huijing, more and more people have grown into laborers who rely on skills to feed themselves, and have become the "sweet cakes" of the job market.
However, another reality is that there are only more than 50 million highly skilled personnel, and the total number of skilled personnel is still insufficient.
There is a strong demand for skilled talents. Speeding up the improvement of the skill quality of workers and alleviating the contradiction between the supply and demand of skilled talents is both an urgent task and a long-term plan.
The "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Vocational Skills Training" proposes to implement in-depth vocational skills improvement actions, vigorously carry out job skills improvement training for enterprise employees, and strengthen employment skills training for key groups.
We look forward to more laborers who possess outstanding "skills" to get out of the circle with skills and realize their dreams with skills.
Three kids
Paraphrase
The Politburo meeting of the CPC Central Committee held on May 31, 2021 proposed to further optimize the childbirth policy and implement the policy that a couple can have three children and supporting measures.
To encourage childbirth, many places have generally proposed measures such as extending maternity leave and paternity leave, and adding parental leave.
observe
Fear of employment discrimination, inability to support, and poor education have become important factors affecting many professionals, especially female employees, in their decision-making on marriage and childbirth.
After the three-child policy was promulgated, some employees were worried that if the various rights and interests costs of female employees increase, employers' employment discrimination may intensify.
Some people believe that, from the perspective of both encouraging childbirth and guaranteeing the employment rights of workers, a set of reproductive cost sharing mechanisms should be established among the government, enterprises and families, and policy preferences should be given to employers that employ more women.
At the same time, we should also advocate a new family culture featuring gender equality and shared responsibilities.
Modern childcare is becoming more scientific and refined, and the cost of childbirth, parenting, and education is not low.
This requires policies not only to encourage "childbirth", but also to guarantee "education", expand the supply of inclusive childcare services, promote educational equity and the supply of high-quality educational resources, and enable employees of childbearing age to want to live, dare to live, and be able to live.
Cancel size week
Paraphrase
Large and small weeks are more common in the Internet industry. They refer to one day off in a week, two days off in the next week, one day off in the next week, and two days off in the next week.
In 2021, a number of Internet "big factories" will cancel the big and small weeks one after another, and the employees are very happy: Will "weekend freedom" be realized?
observe
The popularity of large and small weeks is a product of the rapid expansion of the Internet industry, behind which is the prevalence of overtime culture.
The implementation of large and small weeks means that there are 5.5 working days per week.
In the early days, some companies at the start-up stage began to implement this system in order to quickly occupy the market, and put the cloak of "struggle" on this method of overtime, allowing dividends, allotment and so on.
In fact, the practice of working overtime in small and small weeks not only harms the physical and mental health of workers, but also reduces work efficiency.
A survey shows that after working more than 40 hours a week, people's performance and productivity generally show a law of diminishing marginal effects.
There is nothing wrong with advocating struggle, but it does not mean working overtime every week.
Seeking corporate development and shaping corporate culture must keep to the bottom line of not violating labor law regulations and not infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of workers. Through continuous innovation and improvement of efficiency, the initiative and creativity of workers should be stimulated, and the interests of both parties should be balanced and common development should be sought. Greatest common divisor".
Worker professor
Paraphrase
In January 2021, my country will further strengthen the professional development of high-skilled talents and professional technical talents, promote the effective connection of professional titles with vocational qualifications, and vocational skills grading systems, and support highly-skilled talents to participate in professional title review and vocational qualification examinations.
Some high-skilled talents were therefore rated as senior engineers, that is, "professor-level senior engineers", and became "worker professors."
observe
For a long time, my country has separated skilled talents from professional technical talents based on academic qualifications and status, and implemented two different professional ability evaluation systems.
Skilled talents are recognized in accordance with the vocational skill level of level five workers, and professional technical talents are evaluated as technicians, assistant engineers, intermediate and senior engineers, etc., using the professional technical title system.
The two do not communicate with each other.
Under this system, skilled workers will reach the "ceiling" of career development when they are rated as senior technicians.
This not only caused the income gap between “blue-collar” and “white-collar”, it also hindered the career development of skilled talents.
According to the 2020 corporate salary survey information released by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, 90% of technical talents with senior titles have an annual salary of 280,000 yuan, while 90% of those with advanced skills and above have an annual salary of only 145,600 yuan.
The emergence of "worker professors" means that the obstruction between vocational skills identification and professional and technical title review has been broken.
This will broaden the path for skilled workers to grow into talents, stimulate the enthusiasm of the majority of employees, especially young employees, to learn technology and skills, and cultivate more and higher-quality talents with complex technical skills.
Delay retirement
Paraphrase
Delaying retirement means delaying the retirement age.
The "14th Five-Year Plan" announced in March 2021 and the 2035 long-term goal outline clearly stated that the statutory retirement age should be gradually delayed in accordance with the principles of "small-step adjustment, flexible implementation, classified promotion, and overall planning."
observe
Retirement is delayed, and the footsteps are gradual.
The current legal retirement age in my country is 60 years for male workers, 55 years for female cadres, and 50 years for female workers.
This regulation was determined at the beginning of New China based on the average life expectancy, working conditions and many other factors at that time.
Nowadays, the average life expectancy in my country has increased from about 40 years at the beginning of New China to 77.3 years in 2019. The problem of the overall low retirement age has become very prominent. This is not only difficult to adapt to the aging development trend, but also creates human resources. Waste.
Some scholars believe that the postponement of retirement reform will not be "one size fits all" or "one size fits all", and it will not be "one size fits all." It is delayed by 1 month every few months, and at the same time, it increases the space for individuals to choose early retirement, and smoothly integrates with the current retirement policy.
