On February 14, "2023 multi-provincial civil servants will expand by more than 50%" appeared on Weibo's hot search.
According to statistics, the province with the largest expansion of enrollment has expanded enrollment by nearly 80%.
At the same time, the recruitment policy also reflects the characteristics of expanding enrollment for fresh graduates, moderately relaxing age restrictions for incoming masters and doctoral students, and supporting talents to work at the grassroots level.
Experts believe that through the expansion of enrollment, fresh blood can be injected into the civil servants, the professionalization and specialization of personnel can be improved, the employment of college graduates can be promoted, and the economic development of remote and backward areas can be promoted.
Enrollment expansion is a general trend
From the perspective of enrollment scale, it is a general trend for provinces to expand enrollment in 2023.
Among them, Gansu Province, Yunnan Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region expanded their enrollment by more than 50%, and the scale of enrollment expansion reached 79.7%, 59%, 55.2%, and 50.7% respectively.
On the other hand, the developed areas in the eastern coastal areas show a trend of slightly expanding enrollment. For example, Jiangsu Province has an enrollment expansion ratio of more than 13%, and Shandong Province has an enrollment expansion ratio of 9.7%.
In terms of the number of posts, take Gansu Province as an example. In 2022, Gansu Province will recruit 1,977 civil servant posts, and in 2023, there will be 3,629 posts, an increase of 1,652 posts.
In an interview with the media, a staff member of the Gannan Prefecture Admissions and Examination Office revealed: "Affected by the 'retirement peak period' of civil servants born in 1962-1963, the number of positions reported by various units has increased significantly. For example, Gannan Prefecture has recruited 136 positions this year, A total of 157 people were recruited, nearly 60 more than last year."
However, although Gansu Province has expanded enrollment by nearly 80% this year, judging from the actual scale of enrollment, the number of people is not large.
According to relevant local recruitment announcements, Gansu Province plans to recruit 4,249 civil servants in 2023. In contrast, Guangdong Province plans to recruit 18,258 civil servants in 2023, Hubei Province plans to recruit 11,268 civil servants, and Jiangsu Province plans to recruit 11,268 civil servants. 9272 civil servants were recorded.
The civil service recruitment plan also reflects the fiscal strength of various places.
According to the financial data of various places in 2022, the fiscal revenue of Guangdong Province in 2022 will be 1,327.973 billion yuan, ranking first, and it is the only province with a fiscal revenue exceeding one trillion yuan.
Jiangsu Province follows closely behind, with fiscal revenue of 925.89 billion yuan in 2022.
However, in 2023, Shaanxi Province, Shanghai City, Sichuan Province, Hunan Province, Jilin Province and other places will also reduce their recruitment. Among them, Shaanxi Province and Shanghai City will reduce their recruitment to a smaller extent, which is basically the same as last year.
Ke Shuge, a researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, told a reporter from Beijing Business Daily that from the perspective of the overall structure of the civil servants, there is a real need to further optimize the knowledge structure, age structure, and professional structure of the entire civil servants.
The expansion of civil servants is conducive to improving the governance capacity of the government and providing talent guarantee and support for the modernization of governance capacity.
Judging from the actual needs of the government's economic and social management, some government grassroots management departments need to further optimize and improve the matching degree and adaptability between government staff and positions.
Through the expansion of civil servants, fresh blood can be injected, the vitality and work efficiency of the government can be improved, and the professionalization and specialization of personnel can be improved.
Why choose employment within the system
In terms of recruitment policies, the characteristics of the expansion of enrollment for fresh graduates in multi-regional and provincial examinations are more obvious.
For example, Hubei Province has arranged 4,406 plans to specifically recruit fresh graduates from colleges and universities in 2023, and more than 80% of the positions that fresh graduates from colleges and universities can apply for; 573 more than in fiscal 2022.
In addition, in order to promote the employment of college graduates, Hubei Province, Zhejiang Province and other places have also clarified that graduates of ordinary colleges and universities in 2021 and 2022 can apply for positions that require fresh graduates of ordinary colleges and universities in 2023.
In the past two years, the proportion of college graduates choosing employment within the system has become more obvious.
According to the questionnaire survey conducted by Peking University's "National Survey on the Employment of College Graduates", 49.3% of college graduates will enter the system in 2021.
Ke Shuge believes that the employment of college graduates has always been highly concerned by all walks of life.
The high number and large scale of college graduates have created a structural contradiction between the talent supply and demand sides. At the same time, with the changes in market players, the problem of contemporary college graduates has also faced a new situation.
The essence of college graduates choosing employment within the system is the problems of career choice, career ideals and career evaluation revealed under the stage characteristics of contemporary China's economic and social development, and it also reflects the changes in economic and social life to a large extent.
"At the same time, from the perspective of regional culture, there are prominent social and cultural factors in college graduates' choice of employment within the system. In some areas, employment within the system is more important in terms of career evaluation, career prospects, and career identity. The advantages have led to the trend of college graduates choosing employment within the system. It is necessary to further improve and optimize my country's social policies from the two-way dimension of economic development and people's livelihood construction, improve social security, and continue to promote education, health, medical care, pension, Housing and other social construction projects will provide a better development environment for the realization of full employment and high-quality employment," said Kao Shuge.
Balance talent supply and demand
In the graduation season of 2022, the phenomenon that some master's and doctoral students from prestigious universities get together to enter the county and enter grassroots positions in the system has sparked discussions.
In 2023, many provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities will continue to introduce incentive policies to support the employment of various talents at the grassroots level.
Yunnan Province and other places proposed that for the recruitment positions in difficult and remote areas, measures such as lowering educational requirements, relaxing professional requirements, not limiting working years and experience, and separately delineating the passing score line for written examinations should be taken to appropriately lower the entry threshold; Shandong Province plans to recruit counties There are a total of 5,919 civil servants at the lower level, accounting for 78.7% of the province's recruitment plan. Jiangsu Province also sets 78% of the province's recruitment plan at the frontline of counties and townships, and continues to supplement the strength of county and township grassroots recruitment agencies; Hubei Province plans to Targeted recruitment of 638 grassroots project personnel, outstanding village (community) cadres, and retired soldiers, to encourage and guide the flow of talents to the grassroots.
At the same time, many prefecture-level cities and counties have also launched plans to introduce masters and doctoral talents.
For example, according to the announcement issued by the Office of the Leading Group for Recruiting Masters and Doctors in Jingmen City, Hubei Province on February 10, the introduced full-time doctors and masters will be given a talent allowance of 150,000 yuan and 60,000 yuan respectively after one year of work. Enterprises and institutions The recruited masters and doctoral talents purchased the only newly-built commercial housing for the first time in the central urban area of Jingmen, and were given a one-time housing subsidy of 100,000 yuan for doctors and 60,000 yuan for masters. It is issued for five years, but if the service period of five years is not completed and transferred to Pingyang, the degree subsidy must be fully refunded.
Ke Shuge believes that at present, my country has formed a large-scale talent team, but there are prominent imbalances in the entire talent team.
In particular, grassroots units have a strong and urgent demand for talents.
In remote and backward areas and economically underdeveloped areas, the contradiction between talent supply and demand is more prominent.
At the same time, in the economic and social development in recent years, focusing on basic governance at the grassroots level has become an important policy orientation of the country, and encouraging talents to work at the grassroots level reflects and responds to this policy orientation and the general trend of development.
At present and in the future, while encouraging talents to work at the grassroots level, efforts should be made to improve and optimize relevant talent policies and social policies, build and build a social channel for talent flow, create a good and fair external environment for talent development, and help young college students achieve their goals in life. Ideals and career dreams.
