(Observation of the two sessions) Can't recruit workers with a monthly salary of 10,000?

The representative suggested "two-way travel" to solve the difficulty of recruiting workers in the manufacturing industry

  China News Service, Beijing, March 7th (Reporter Wan Shuyan Ma Jiajia) During the National Two Sessions, the suggestion to "encourage young people to deliver less food and go to factories more" was on the hot search, and this topic also received extensive attention from the delegates.

  Recently, Huang Meimei, a representative of the National People's Congress and the personnel commissioner of the Human Resources Department of Daoming Optical Co., Ltd., felt particularly anxious: it is the recruitment season in March, and after the Spring Festival is the traditional peak employment season, and the company has to start a "snatch war" again.

In the Pearl River Delta, some bosses lamented that "it is impossible to recruit workers with a monthly salary of 10,000".

  The reason is that Huang Meimei believes that there are more new options for flexible employment, such as self-media, live broadcast delivery, food delivery, micro-business, confinement, etc. The work is free and fresh, while the factory is boring, long working hours, and intensive. Big, bad environment.

In addition, many young people tend to go to first-, second-, and third-tier cities rather than fourth- and fifth-tier cities. Most of the manufacturing bases are located in fourth- and fifth-tier cities.

  Yang Jinlong, a representative of the National People's Congress and a teacher at Hangzhou Technician College, also found in the survey that compared with new occupations such as courier delivery, food delivery, and e-commerce anchors, which can quickly earn income and do not require many skills, it is more difficult to have a sense of accomplishment and gain in working in a factory. Feelings, income and pay also do not match.

  A survey shows that over 60% of vocational school students are unwilling to enter the factory floor as "blue-collar workers".

Wu Zhiyong, deputy to the National People's Congress and dean of Shijiazhuang Vocational College of Science and Technology, said that in the perception of many parents and students, vocational education is still considered a "helpless choice".

As a result, it is difficult to find skilled workers in the job market, but students are "high-eyed and low-handed", preferring to be "little white-collar workers" in the office rather than "big blue-collar workers" in the factory.

  As China moves from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power, how to solve the problem of "who will be the workers tomorrow"?

  Wu Zhiyong believes that the state should increase the guidance and support for vocational education, and at the same time, it should also consider creating more opportunities for vocational school students to further their studies and equal employment.

Schools should guide students from the middle school stage, so that children realize that there are multiple choices in society, and it is most important to choose the industry that suits them.

In addition, it is necessary to increase the publicity of vocational education at the grassroots level.

  "Now when the school starts, students will be given the 'first lesson', and the deeds of outstanding graduates will be used to encourage them to study technology well, strive to become a pillar of talent, and achieve 'skills for mutual wealth'." Yang Jinlong said.

  Zheng Jianjiang, deputy to the National People's Congress and chairman of Oaks Group, believes that companies should not only improve the treatment of employees, but also formulate a comprehensive talent training plan, so that they can learn more advanced technologies, have room for career advancement, and feel a sense of accomplishment and honor. "People do their best, and things do their best."

At the same time, it is necessary to provide a good working environment and strengthen humanistic care for employees.

  Huang Meimei found that with the improvement of living standards, migrant workers gradually returned to the local area, and they could be reunited with their families by working at the doorstep of their homes, and their happiness has skyrocketed. This is an irreversible trend.

She suggested that the manufacturing industry should follow the employment of labor, and companies should build factories in labor-intensive areas.

  Huang Meimei also suggested that the government should give policy preference to the examination and approval of vocational colleges, open more vocational colleges in remote areas, and train more skilled talents for local employment. They will become the epigenetic power of the manufacturing industry.

At the same time, compulsory education should be upgraded to the stage of high school/vocational high school, and workers' cultural level needs to "make up for the shortcomings".

  "To attract more young people into factories, the government and enterprises need to 'run in both directions', and companies and employees also need to 'run in both directions'." Huang Meimei said.

  In addition, today's factories are increasingly automated and intelligent, requiring a large number of highly skilled personnel.

  Chen Ailian, deputy to the National People's Congress and executive committee member of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, found in the survey that many manufacturing industries encountered a shortage of high-quality talents in the process of digital transformation.

She suggested that the education sector should increase the training of high-quality industrial workers, and enterprises should also strengthen technical training to improve the professional quality of employees, so as to truly realize the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and enhance international competitiveness.
