Taking multiple measures to stabilize the basic employment market

  Retaining market entities is the basis for ensuring employment, and ensuring that market entities operate in a normal and orderly manner can better achieve employment goals.

At present, my country's employment has been highly market-oriented, and the government's responsibilities and policy guidance should be market-oriented, and actively create conditions to promote better matching of the needs of employers and job seekers.

  Recently, the Central Economic Work Conference and the Symposium on Tax and Fee Reduction have successively put forward requirements and clear directions for stabilizing and expanding employment. One of the main points of focus is to stabilize the fundamentals of employment by stabilizing market players.

  In 2022, my country's employment situation will face many challenges.

First, under the general trend that the total number of employment continues to rise, the number of college graduates this year is expected to exceed 10 million for the first time, and the total number and increment are the highest in recent years.

Second, the complex and volatile international environment increases the risk of uncertainty in the labor market. Some companies that have not yet formed core competitive advantages in technology and brands may be impacted by the transfer of the industrial chain, increasing the risk of unemployment among employees.

Third, the domestic economic development is under pressure, and the COVID-19 epidemic has continued to affect employment for a period of time, and some employees in industries that absorb a large number of laborers lack confidence in employment.

Fourth, the structural employment contradiction will exist for a period of time, and the shortage of high-skilled labor is not conducive to the transformation and upgrading of enterprises.

In addition, the protection of basic rights and interests of workers in new economic forms such as flexible employment should be adapted to real needs as soon as possible.

  Retaining market entities is the basis for ensuring employment, and ensuring that market entities operate in a normal and orderly manner can better achieve employment goals.

By the end of 2021, the total number of market entities in my country has exceeded 150 million.

The symposium on tax reduction and fee reduction emphasized that in order to continue to do a good job in the "six stability" and "six guarantees" work, in response to the needs of market players, new and stronger combined tax and fee reductions will be implemented as soon as possible, and the support that expires at the end of 2021 will continue to be implemented. Tax and fee reduction measures for small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households.

It is believed that the continuation of the relevant measures to benefit enterprises will continue to play a role in stabilizing jobs and expanding employment.

  At present, my country's employment has been highly market-oriented, and the government's responsibilities and policy guidance should be market-oriented, and actively create conditions to promote better matching of the needs of employers and job seekers.

On the one hand, employment public services are an important carrier to promote the matching of market supply and demand and implement employment policies. At present, most streets and towns in my country have established service windows to provide various free services such as registration and recruitment, career guidance, etc. For employment needs, service measures should be optimized in the direction of equalization of basic services, intelligent information services, and precise services for key groups, so as to increase the reach rate of job information.

On the other hand, social forces can be encouraged to widely participate in employment services, cultivate and build a unified, standardized and flexible human resources market, and provide multi-channel professional services for workers with different needs.

At the same time, in the face of the increasingly specialized, digital, and international job-seeking needs of all kinds of workers, the service level of the human resources market needs to be improved. It is necessary to support human resource institutions to carry out targeted vocational training according to job needs and help job-seekers find the ideal job.

  To stabilize the fundamentals of employment, we should also actively support the development of new forms of business and realize the expansion and improvement of employment.

In recent years, relying on the development of the Internet platform, new forms of employment have become more and more abundant, and some traditional forms of employment have gradually turned to flexible employment, becoming an important force in absorbing labor.

Since the second half of 2021, relevant departments have successively issued relevant measures to protect the labor rights and interests of people with flexible employment, and flexible employment has entered a new stage of standardized development.

The Central Economic Work Conference proposed to "improve the employment and social security policies for flexible employment", and put forward requirements for the protection of the rights and interests of flexible employment workers in the next step.

In this regard, relevant parties should implement various measures such as social security, labor remuneration, occupational injury, and skill training as soon as possible, make up for the shortcomings of labor rights protection as soon as possible, and promote flexible employment to release greater expansion potential.

  To a certain extent, stable employment depends not only on economic development, but also in turn to drive the steady development of all walks of life, and to ensure steady progress in various social undertakings.

All localities and departments should further implement the employment priority policy. The introduction of various macro policies should simultaneously evaluate their impact on the labor market, and risk prevention and control should be supplemented in a timely manner, so as to effectively stabilize the employment base and better protect and improve people's livelihood. .
