At the meeting, a reporter asked: In order to overcome the impact of the epidemic, what measures have been taken to promote the employment of migrant workers this year?
Zhang Ying said that migrant workers are an important part of my country's industrial workers and a key group in employment.
Under the influence of the epidemic this year, some migrant workers have been prevented from going out to work, and employment pressure has increased.
In the early stage, with the approval of the State Council, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, in conjunction with 15 departments, issued a special policy document to promote the employment and entrepreneurship of migrant workers. At the same time, it also launched a series of employment and training service activities to stabilize and expand the employment of migrant workers.
According to Zhang Ying, as of the end of the third quarter, there were 179 million migrant workers, an increase of 2 million from the end of the second quarter.
Specifically, the following measures have been taken:
One is to guide the orderly outing.
Strengthen job collection and release, smooth the connection of employment information between input and output areas, and guide migrant workers to work out in an orderly manner.
Especially during the epidemic period, a cross-regional and cross-departmental "point-to-point" return to work coordination mechanism was established to help migrant workers "get out of home, get in the car, and enter the factory." A total of more than 6 million migrant workers have been transported.
The second is to support local employment.
Guide the return to agriculture to solve a batch of jobs, implement a work-for-work program to absorb a batch of jobs, and the development of innovative forms of business spurs a batch of jobs, mainly because many new forms of business such as e-commerce are also going deep into rural areas and towns.
Support returning home to start a business to drive a batch of jobs, and develop a batch of jobs for public welfare.
Through a variety of ways, create more local employment opportunities for migrant workers.
The third is to optimize employment services.
The most important thing is to implement equal employment services. Migrant workers can register for unemployment at the place of employment and insured area, and the scope of unemployment insurance has been expanded accordingly.
Optimize recruitment services, continue to carry out special service activities such as online "Spring Breeze Action" and "Ten Thousand Days" online recruitment, and actively promote the development of offline recruitment activities.
The fourth is to strengthen skills.
Implemented the vocational skills training program for migrant workers to stabilize employment, vigorously carry out training on behalf of workers, targeted job training, special training for urgently needed jobs, job conversion training and entrepreneurship training to meet the diversified skills improvement needs of migrant workers.
In the first three quarters, 5 million migrant workers have been trained.
The fifth is to protect legitimate rights and interests.
Vigorously promote the eradication of wage arrears, properly handle labor disputes, and earnestly safeguard the labor security rights of migrant workers.
In the first three quarters, labor security supervision agencies at all levels paid a total of 2.94 billion yuan for 237,000 migrant workers.
Zhang Ying pointed out that in the process of doing a good job of migrant workers, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has always placed the promotion of file establishment and registration of the employment of poor laborers in a prominent position, giving priority to poor laborers in organizing outings, stabilizing positions, and providing priority transfer services. , Give priority to returning to the hometown to undertake, to ensure that the scale of the poor labor force going out to work is not less than last year.
As of the end of September, 29.34 million poor laborers had gone out to work for work, exceeding the total scale of last year.
"The employment of migrant workers is related to economic development, social stability and the improvement of people's livelihood. We will persevere, take multiple measures, and do our best to stabilize and expand the employment of migrant workers." Zhang Ying said.
