Recently, "the representative of the National People's Congress suggested that the civil service examination break the 35-year-old threshold" has aroused widespread discussion in the society.
Some netizens mentioned that there is also a 30-year-old age limit for admissions to public institutions in many regions, which should be relaxed at the same time.
How did the local human resources and social departments respond to such calls?
Recently, the Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Henan Province explained the issue of autonomy in the establishment of recruitment conditions for employers in the public recruitment of public institutions in the response to the online post “It is recommended that the age of recruitment of Henan public institutions be adjusted to under 35” in a timely manner. : Public recruitment of public institutions is in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security No. 6 "Unified Standardization, Classification Guidance, and Classified Management". Organization and implementation.
In the recruitment implementation process, local governments adhere to the combination of government macro management and the implementation of the employment autonomy of public institutions. The setting of recruitment conditions is set by the employer according to business development, job needs, job matching conditions and requirements, and the employer must also be considered as a whole The age structure of talents, optimize the allocation of talent resources, and rationally select and employ people.
The netizen pointed out that, referring to the provinces adjacent to our province, Shandong and Anhui, which are also populous provinces, the public institutions in the cities and counties of these two provinces generally recruit undergraduates under the age of 35, while the cities and counties of our province Most of the jobs in public institutions are restricted to under 30 years of age.
With increasing employment pressure, combined with factors such as the delayed retirement age, the epidemic situation, and the increase in graduates each year, whether it is possible to consider whether the age of the post should be adjusted to under 35 when recruiting institutions in our provinces, giving young people more opportunities Channels of employment.
Is there a policy basis for relaxing the age setting?
The Henan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security introduced this time, in order to increase the work of recruiting talents, and how to appropriately relax the age recruitment problem, in recent years, we have been constantly practicing and exploring.
In 2016, the "Opinions on Further Strengthening and Reforming the Public Recruitment of Public Institutions" issued by the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Department of Human Resources and Social Security (Yurensheye [2016] No. 4) pointed out that the qualification conditions should be set scientifically.
According to the actual situation of basic-level public institutions, various localities can take measures to appropriately reduce the educational requirements of county and township basic-level public institutions, relax restrictions on recruitment, appropriately adjust age conditions, and reasonably determine the proportion of examinations, and appropriately lower the entry threshold of grass-roots public institutions and guide them. Talents flow to the grassroots level.
The "Implementation Opinions on Strengthening and Improving the Public Recruitment of Public Institutions in Poor County in Our Province" jointly issued by the Organization Department of Henan Provincial Party Committee and the Department of Human Resources and Social Security in 2017 pointed out that the age of public recruitment in poor counties and township institutions can be relaxed, including recruitment of public institutions. The age of management personnel and junior professional and technical personnel can be relaxed to below 40 years old, and the recruitment of intermediate and senior professional and technical personnel can be further relaxed according to work needs.
Other non-poverty counties, townships, and townships can be implemented with reference to the "Opinions" in light of local conditions.
The Paper's inquiry found that at the end of 2020, the Henan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security pointed out in its reply to the online post “Is it age discrimination if the recruitment limit for public institutions is 30 years old?” It is our responsibility to avoid and eliminate discriminatory conditions for public recruitment. Recruitment is always highly vigilant and follow the basic principles. Judging from the state and our province’s policies regarding the establishment of discriminatory conditions for public recruitment of public institutions in recent years, the state and our province have not yet adjusted the age Classified as discriminatory conditions.
The Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Henan Province also mentioned at that time that in recent years, although public recruitment by public institutions in our province has played a good role in broadening the channels for selection and employment of public institutions and optimizing the structure of the talent team of public institutions, the problem of individualization in actual work still remains. We wait for further in-depth study and research, extensively listening to different opinions and suggestions, and promoting the development of public recruitment of public institutions in our province.
Earlier, some netizens pointed out that the examination age for civil servants in Fujian Province is basically restricted to under 35 years old.
However, some public institutions such as Xiamen City are restricted to under 30 years old, and these units do not have obvious age requirements.
Even if there is an age requirement, 30 and 35 do not seem to be much different, so it is recommended that if there is no special requirement, the age limit should be unified with reference to civil servants, and they are all classified as 35 years old.
The Fujian Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security responded that according to the "Interim Measures for the Public Recruitment of Staff Examinations in Provincial Public Institutions of Fujian Province" (Min Ren Fa [2006] No. 11), the basic conditions that applicants for public institutions must meet include "At the age of 18, the age at which the institution is hired for the first time shall not exceed 40 in principle."
The number of public institutions is large, the types are many, and the distribution is wide. The industry categories, nature of funding, professional types and personnel positions of public institutions are complex and diverse, and they require a wide range of talents, diverse and unique; at the same time, public institutions are a society with independent legal personality. Organizations enjoy a certain degree of autonomy in employing personnel. According to the current personnel management system and employing mechanism, the autonomy of employing institutions must be respected and implemented so that they can recruit more suitable and excellent professionals.
The Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Fujian Province pointed out that in order to further implement the employment autonomy of public institutions, improve the efficiency of recruitment, and promote the scientificization of public recruitment of public institutions, it is conducive to the recruitment of more suitable talents to public institutions. Fujian Province is divided into districts, cities and provinces. Recruitment examinations for various departments and public institutions are specifically responsible for the respective departments of the human resources and social security departments of the districted cities and the competent departments of the provinces, and the recruitment requirements such as age requirements are also determined by themselves.
