  How can we continue to achieve more adequate and higher-quality employment goals this year and ensure the overall stability of employment?

On this topic, our reporter interviewed the representatives who participated in the National Two Sessions.

  All-round assistance for college graduates to find employment

  College graduates are one of the key groups for employment security.

According to statistics, the number of college graduates nationwide in 2022 will reach 10.76 million, an increase of 1.67 million over the previous year, and both the scale and increment will hit a record high.

How to help college students go to work smoothly is a topic of concern to many delegates.

  "At present, the difficulty of college students' employment is mainly due to structural contradictions. The number of college graduates is increasing, but employers are unable to recruit suitable talents. For example, the country's demand for talents in new infrastructure, new manufacturing, high-end nursing, etc. far exceeds supply." Ni Minjing, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, said that the modernization of college disciplines and majors should be carried out as soon as possible.

"For example, traditional journalism majors need to add courses to learn new media technology; art and design disciplines need to learn artificial intelligence, new materials, etc., so that college disciplines are more in line with the current situation of social and economic development."

  Ni Minjing also suggested that contemporary college students should establish a correct view of employment and career choice.

"For college students, high-quality employment does not mean high wages for initial employment, but to find suitable positions and give full play to their own value. College graduates should be cultivated to be proud of working in the front-line and grass-roots level of national construction, and in practice Experience training and grow your talents in the middle.”

  Yang Shanhong, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy governor of the Anhui Provincial Department of Education, told reporters that in recent years, Anhui Province has introduced a number of positive measures for the employment of college graduates.

"For example, the employment apprenticeship management system has achieved good results. College graduates who have not found a formal job within two years of leaving school can go to various units declared as apprenticeship bases for internships, so that young people can gradually get in touch with, understand real work and Gradually adapt to society.”

  Yang Shanhong said that employment work is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The Central Committee of the Zhi Gong Party, a democratic party where he belongs, also put forward proposals to actively do a good job in youth employment work this year, suggesting that the reform of the employment supply side should be further strengthened to promote the employment demand and employment supply of youth employment groups. dynamic equilibrium.

  Yang Shanhong suggested that colleges and universities should continue to strengthen the career planning education for students, set up courses related to employment and entrepreneurship, and increase the internship and practice opportunities of college students.

"It is suggested that colleges and universities should track the dynamics of students' internships throughout the process, and continue to carry out management, education and counseling, such as actively coordinating companies to help graduates stay in their jobs or recommend employment positions, etc., and expand employment channels for graduates."

  All parties implement the detailed employment priority policy

  At present, China's economic development is facing the triple pressure of demand contraction, supply shock, and weakening expectations.

This year, the pressure on the total employment volume will not be reduced, and the implementation of the employment priority policy is still needed to achieve the annual employment target and tasks.

  Hu Wei, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and counselor of the Shanghai Municipal Government, said that employment policies should be targeted to the population aged 40 and above.

In particular, the relevant labor laws and regulations are revised to require employers not to use age as a red line for recruitment, promotion or dismissal, and to ensure that a certain proportion of employees aged 40 and above in all types of enterprises.

Hu Wei also suggested actively supporting the career transformation of middle-aged talents, such as increasing the supply of training and education, guiding more middle-aged people to transfer to technical jobs, and giving full play to their experience and technical advantages.

  Qiu Licheng, a representative of the National People's Congress and a professor at the School of Economics and Management of Yanshan University, is very concerned about the issue of fair employment.

He suggested strengthening relevant legislation, building a sound system of anti-employment discrimination laws and regulations, and at the same time unblocking employment rights protection channels and strengthening judicial protection.

Qiu Licheng said that on the one hand, we should actively promote the establishment of a more equal employment environment; on the other hand, employees should also increase their awareness of rights protection during the job search process, and make good use of legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests. When encountering employment discrimination and other issues , and can actively solve the problem through legal channels or social assistance.

  "Stable employment requires the joint efforts of the government, society and enterprises." In the interview, Zhang Yichen, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of CITIC Capital, said that a proposal he brought this year is a proposal that has a great role in attracting employment and has a heavy task of protecting people's livelihood. The catering service enterprises should provide policy assistance, and at the same time, enterprises should also assume the main responsibility for stabilizing employment.

  The reporter learned that the proposal submitted by the NLD Central Committee this year also involved issues such as strengthening labor supervision, improving the employment quality of migrant workers, and attracting Taiwanese youth to come to the mainland for employment and entrepreneurship, and put forward relevant suggestions.

Promoting flexible employment and new forms of employment

  With the rapid development of the Internet platform economy, the proportion of flexible employment and new business employment has increased significantly.

  The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security stated that this year, it will continue to optimize the entrepreneurial environment, improve policies such as entrepreneurial guaranteed loans, strengthen the construction of entrepreneurial incubation bases, start the creation of entrepreneurial cities, and organize activities such as the "China Creation Wing" competition to create a good entrepreneurial atmosphere.

We will support the healthy development of flexible employment, carry out pilot projects for occupational injury protection for those employed in new forms of employment, and launch a number of standardized gig markets.

  Many representatives also paid attention to this hot spot and offered suggestions from various angles.

  "In recent years, more and more young people hope to create value through their hobbies and hobbies. Therefore, flexible employment methods such as self-employment and part-time work have become an important supplement to new employment and a new engine to stabilize employment. Zhu Jiandi, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Lixin Certified Public Accountants, pointed out that it is necessary to deeply explore the opportunities for young people to participate in flexible employment, and encourage industry associations to use digital technologies such as big data and cloud computing to build flexible employment data sharing platforms to promote flexible employment. Effectively connect with enterprise information to achieve real-time and accurate supply and demand matching.

  Zeng Xianggui, deputy to the National People's Congress and full-time vice chairman of the New Format Industry Trade Union Federation of Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, said that the new format has further expanded the employment space for migrant workers.

"In recent years, many migrant workers have embraced this new 'window' of employment and become takeaway riders and courier brothers."

  Zeng Xianggui suggested that relevant laws and regulations should be improved, provisions should be made on employment relations and dispute resolution for new forms of employment, labor protection responsibilities of new forms of business enterprises, etc. ".
