Strengthen the employment priority policy
Over the past decade, the number of new jobs created in China's cities and towns has averaged more than 13 million a year.
In 2022, the national target for new urban employment is more than 11 million, but the current uncertainties and unstable factors are increasing, and employment still faces considerable challenges.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to strengthen the employment priority policy, improve the employment promotion mechanism, and promote high-quality full employment.
Li Shi, Dean of the Institute of Sharing and Development of Zhejiang University, told a reporter from China News Agency that in the past, he emphasized "adherence" to employment priority, but this time the report emphasized "enhancing" employment priority. .
To achieve fuller and higher-quality employment, it is crucial to seize key groups.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China requires that the public service system for employment should be improved, the employment support system for key groups should be improved, and the employment support for groups in difficulties should be strengthened.
Feng Wenmeng, director of the Research Office of the Institute of Public Administration and Human Resources of the Development Research Center of the State Council, told a reporter from China News Agency that stabilizing the work of key groups such as college graduates, migrant workers, and those with employment difficulties is crucial to stabilizing the overall situation of employment, especially In 2022, the number of college graduates will exceed 10 million for the first time, and solving their employment is the top priority. It is expected that the employment support measures for these key groups will be more complete and stronger.
Eliminate employment discrimination
Comparing with the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which stated that "removing the drawbacks of the system and mechanism that hinder the social mobility of labor and talents, so that everyone has the opportunity to realize their own development through hard work", the report of the 20th National Congress added "eliminating the unreasonable factors that affect equal employment." Restrictions and Employment Discrimination".
Eliminating employment discrimination has become an urgent expectation of workers.
Under the pressure of total employment, all kinds of implicit or explicit employment discrimination continue to breed, age discrimination, education discrimination, gender discrimination... Various restrictions have become "stumbling blocks" for many people on the road to employment.
Feng Wenmeng believes that the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes the promotion of equality of opportunity, and the elimination of unreasonable restrictions and employment discrimination that affect equal employment is the proper meaning of promoting equality of opportunity. Create a level playing field.
Only by eliminating unreasonable restrictions and employment discrimination, can workers enter the workplace more smoothly and realize their own development through hard work.

Strengthen rights protection
With the development of the platform economy, new employment forms emerge in an endless stream, and the number of workers such as online delivery staff and online car drivers has increased significantly.
Statistics show that there are more than 200 million people in flexible employment in China.
However, many flexible workers are "trapped in the system, tied to the algorithm, tied to the commission, and free from social security", and their legitimate rights and interests are easily violated.
Take takeaway delivery workers as an example, they often encounter the problem of lack of accident protection.
If there are new problems, there are new solutions.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to support and standardize the development of new forms of employment.
Improve labor laws and regulations, improve labor relations consultation and coordination mechanisms, improve labor rights protection system, and strengthen the protection of labor rights and interests in flexible employment and new forms of employment.
In Feng Wenmeng's view, with the further implementation of occupational injury protection and other measures, the rights and interests of workers in the new employment form will be better protected. This is a bottom line, which will help solve their worries and allow them to work with peace of mind.
