Why is flexible employment so important?

Therefore, supporting flexible employment is an important starting point for stabilizing employment and increasing income.

  Zhang Deyong, a researcher at the Institute of Financial Strategy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that there is an urgent need to broaden employment channels and create new growth points for employment, and the booming new business model is becoming an important reservoir for absorbing employment.

  It can be seen that due to the characteristics of strong autonomy, flexibility and freedom, and low thresholds, flexible employment is becoming more and more popular. New models such as "shared employment", "part-time distribution" and "temporary customer service" have emerged. There are more and more flexible employees such as store owners, fitness personal trainers, self-media bloggers, online ride-hailing drivers, and online anchors.

  The "Rider Employment Report for the First Half of 2020" released by Meituan recently shows that under the influence of the epidemic, "part-time riding" has become a new employment trend.
