(Interview with the two sessions) NPC deputies pay attention to emerging careers such as takeaway riders and improve social security mechanisms
Chinanews.com, Beijing, May 22 (Li Yunhan) "According to the characteristics of new employment forms such as flexible employment, we will formulate a social security policy that can effectively protect the rights and interests of the labor force." "It is recommended to further improve the policy and care for the takeaway riders." , “Emerging occupations” such as takeaway riders, etc. became a hot topic for the delegates.
"Currently, new employment forms are diversified, and employment methods have increased significantly. Flexible employment and non-standard labor relations have become the norm and trend of employment." Xu Xiaoying, a representative of the National People's Congress and a group leader of Jiangxi Lifeng Shoes Co., Ltd., believes that The construction of a new type of labor relations system and system in China is no longer urgent.
According to data from the National Information Center, in 2018, 75 million people provided services for the sharing economy in China, accounting for 9.7% of the country ’s total employment of 775.6 million people, an increase of about 5 million people from the previous year and an increase of 7.1% year-on-year.
"Employment companies have no legal obligation to pay, and flexible employees themselves do not have payment channels, which has become a system barrier for most flexible employees to participate in work injury insurance." According to Xu Xiaoying, flexible employees face the dilemma of enjoying social security.
Regarding the above-mentioned dilemma, Xu Xiaoying proposed to formulate a social security policy that can effectively protect the rights and interests of the labor force through system innovation in light of the characteristics of new employment forms such as flexible employment. To study and adjust the basic idea of "the social insurance can only pay social insurance" to adjust the social security policy, and establish the rules to pay industrial injury insurance without labor relationship.
In addition, for new employments who may serve multiple employers, Xu Xiaoying suggested that the system should specify which company entity should open the social security account, so as to determine the responsibility for the work injury insurance. At the same time, it is recommended that the research pilot enterprises in some regions pay the full amount of the work-related injury insurance costs at all levels of finance.
The State Council Premier Li Keqiang mentioned in his government work report on the 22nd that China has hundreds of millions of flexible employees, including gigs. This year, the policy of voluntary deferral of social insurance premiums has been implemented for low-income workers, and all administrative fees related to employment have been cancelled. .
Also concerned about "emerging occupations" was Yu Chunmei, a deputy secretary of the Party branch of the first company of the National People's Congress and Jiangxi Nanchang Public Transportation Group Co., Ltd.
"The development of the take-out industry has effectively stimulated the vitality of local digital consumption, spawned young consumption formats such as the" night economy "and the" house economy ", and at the same time broadened the survival soil of the" small store economy ". Yu Chunmei believes that it provides an effective way for takeaway riders. The protection and care of China are of great significance for raising China ’s urbanization level and promoting “employment poverty reduction” in a more flexible manner.
In recent years, China's Internet catering industry has developed vigorously. As a bridge between online and offline, merchants to platforms and consumers, the delivery delivery network and the delivery rider group are becoming the "new infrastructure" of urban life.
However, Yu Chunmei noted that more than 70% of takeaway riders come from counties and rural areas. They are not well-educated, and they face low social recognition of professional image, high labor intensity, serious shortage of supporting labor security facilities, and poor labor and social security mechanisms. Difficulties such as perfection.
In this regard, Yu Chunmei suggested smoothing out the green channel for labor security services in the takeaway industry, especially to promote the inclusion of takeaway rider groups into the coverage of local work injury insurance. In cases where the facts are clear, the rights and obligations are clear, and the parties have no disputes about takeaway work injury determination, Renshe Departments give "quick recognition and quick knot" processing. At the same time, promote the inclusion of "takeaway riders" in the "List of National Vocational Qualification Catalogues" of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and carry out vocational skills training and other work.
