Faced with a series of problems such as career prospects and social security payment,
behind the hot "new career", youth development dilemma needs to be solved urgently
The professional age of top players in the e-sports industry is 14-25 years old, and the future career development prospects are worrying; some online writers earn one million yuan a year, but they can’t pay themselves social security; the average monthly salary of online anchors is 8,000 yuan to 15,000 yuan , Five social insurance and one housing fund payment is also a problem.
On December 8, in the "CYL face to face" event co-sponsored by the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Shanghai Youth Service and Rights Protection Office, and the Shanghai Youth Federation, the development of "new career" youth became Popular topics of concern to people from all walks of life.
"The appearance looks very glamorous, the income is two or three times that of well-known football and basketball stars, but it always feels unstable. The future career development prospects are worrying." Ruan Chen, head of the League of Legends team of the RNG E-sports club, put the e-sports youth in confusion. It was thrown to the representatives and committee members present.
The reporter noticed that after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, "new professions" represented by network anchors, e-sports players, network writers, and courier brothers have been sought after by young people.
According to data from 51job.com, as of the end of November, there were nearly 55,000 live-streaming-related positions on its platform. In October and November, more than 190,000 resumes were submitted, among which undergraduates and junior colleges were the main job applicants. The two add up to more than 80%.
E-sports "little players" career prospects worrying
In recent years, the e-sports industry has gradually entered people's field of vision, especially sought after by young people.
But Ruan Chen told reporters that the age of e-sports players is usually 14-25 years old. At this age, many people are still in school. Joining e-sports means giving up their studies.
What has developed simultaneously with this is the super-high income of this industry. "Top players are regarded as idols by many young people and they feel that e-sports can be used as a lifelong career."
But the professional life span of the e-sports industry is very short, only about 10 years.
Some people say that with so many high-paying jobs in the e-sports industry, is it enough to feed back retired players?
But Ruan Chen told reporters that because many e-sports players have given up their studies when they should be studying, many e-sports players lack the basic listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Very few retired players can successfully enter the e-sports industry. Can’t you give them a chance to go back to school and continue their studies? Later, they can return to the e-sports industry.”
Ruan Chen also noticed that due to lack of education, young e-sports players frequently exposed negative news, "They make money, do not manage assets, do not know the law, and have no career planning." He suggested that relevant government departments and e-sports vendors , The club unites to provide scientific training for young people in the e-sports industry.
Han Ruobing, representative of the Municipal People’s Congress and general manager of Shanghai Rouwei Material Technology Co., Ltd., also noticed the random and fragmented characteristics of the “new profession”. “In our traditional industry, a project is done for a lifetime or even several generations, but a “new profession” The life cycle is very short.” He said that the new industry has a strong ability to make wealth and stars, and attracts many young people, but the guidance and training of practitioners have not kept up. “They urgently need career planning. Education in this area will bring about the negative effects of these industries."
In response, Xu Hongjuan, representative of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress and director of the Putuo District Employment Promotion Center, introduced that the human resources and social security departments have specific training subsidy policies for enterprises. These policies are still being refined in the new economy.
"New Career" Youth Concern: Social Security, Children Reading
According to Zhang Yinhao, head of the public relations department of 51job.com, according to the research of the job search platform, "new occupations" will also bring new problems. "We found new occupations in terms of labor contracts, five insurances and one housing fund, and job stability. There is room for improvement."
He suggested that relevant government departments should conduct partial pilot projects in a certain area in terms of vocational education, off-site employment security (including children’s schooling, housing, flexible employment), and salary timing. “This can ensure that these new industries and new careers move towards the future. Benign and sustainable development".
Internet writer Futian pays special attention to his social security payment.
"We network writers are all self-employed groups. We have signed authorized contracts with websites and publishers. We are not employees of the company and cannot pay social insurance." She said that there is a dilemma of "want to pay social insurance and no place to pay." Few online writers can only link themselves to some small companies to pay social security in violation of regulations through various relationships, "in fact, they are not paid and do not work at other people's places."
Not only do they have to pay their own social security, but the Internet writers also pay an extra tax out of thin air.
"There is an extra income, but you actually didn't get this income, but when you are deducting taxes, this income must be added when the individual tax is paid." Futian said.
Nowadays, there are many trainings for online writers, and Futian himself has participated in a lot.
But she believes that these trainings are of little significance to online writers. "Our grassroots online writers actually need an organization even more."
She introduced that Shanghai now has the "Internet Writers Association", but the association is mainly of a public welfare nature, and temporarily cannot play a role in appealing to the group of online writers and fighting for policies.
Network writers do not particularly value training, but network anchors have "extraordinary training."
Shanghai Zhang Tiejun’s director of the Jade E-commerce Department, Liang Chaobo, is also an e-commerce anchor himself. He noticed that many anchors now have no bottom line in order to bring traffic. “All live broadcasts are based on traffic as the assessment standard. For traffic, the anchor has a lower limit. Goods manufacturers reduce profits and reduce costs, and fake goods frequently appear."
Liang Chaobo, 22, has been working hard in the e-commerce industry for more than 3 years.
He graduated with a major in financial engineering, taught himself clothing fabrics and gem design during school, and opened a micro store and Taobao store since his sophomore year.
He believes that the current network anchor lacks industry standard management, "We sell products, but we can't see whether the products are good or bad."
He suggested that for more professional live-stream sales product categories, relevant departments should work with the platform to conduct targeted personnel training to "guarantee consumer interests and market standards, so that this industry can go far."
Li Wei, representative of the Minhang District People’s Congress and chairman of Shanghai Yueguanjia Network Technology Co., Ltd., is a representative of the housekeeping industry. He spent three years studying how to solve the problem of children studying and settling in Shanghai for outstanding skilled workers, but to no avail .
"The current talent remuneration is mainly based on academic qualifications. One point for undergraduates, masters, and prestigious schools will be enough for 120 points at once, which can solve the problem of children's nine-year compulsory education. But how do you score points for blue-collar skills?" Li Wei suggested. Skilled workers should have their own points evaluation system, so as to solve the development problem of the shortage of urban service industry personnel in quantity and quality.
"New occupations" urgently need effective system supply and industry organization
Wang Yili, vice chairman of the CPPCC Minhang District, told reporters that the current research on youth groups of “new professions” is still at the individual level. “There is a special need for organizations like the Communist Youth League to turn 1,000 youths of “new professions” into 10 organizations. The efficiency of our communication and service can be improved."
He believes that for the development of "new occupations" young people, the most urgent thing is to solve the two problems of "effective system supply" and "orderly organization".
Ni Xuebin, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Minhang District People's Congress and chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions, also noticed similar problems.
He introduced that the Minhang Sub-district Party Working Committee and the trade union had gathered together the online food delivery staff in the area to form an industry trade union.
However, in the process of forming the trade union, there was a situation where the competent department of the industry could not be found.
Mao Fang, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress and vice chairman of the Municipal People's Congress Social Construction Committee, said that the next step is to tackle the development of new professional youths from two aspects: one is theoretical research, and the other is practical exploration.
The main purpose of the former is to delineate a conceptual extension of the "new profession", to study the characteristics, characteristics and development trends of the "new profession", as well as a convincing comprehensive analysis report to study the distribution of industry ecology at different development stages; Those who want to put the theory into practice, put forward the establishment of a policy and legal system that promotes the healthy development of "new occupations".
Mao Fang said that according to previous research conducted by the National People’s Congress, the Shanghai municipal government has issued more norms, policies and supporting documents on the development of “new professions”. “Government departments are also racking their brains to target the use of “new professions” and “new economy”. There are many patching policies. Some policies are already working, some policies have not yet worked, and some policies are still unknown to the public.”
He pointed out that under the background of precise service and personalized service, government departments urgently need to solve the new proposition of "new career" development.
In addition, Mao Fang also suggested that group organizations represented by the Communist Youth League should participate in helping to promote "new occupations" to form industry organizations, and "promote them to follow a path of regularization, professionalization, and specialization. If everyone is an individual practitioner, a piece of loose sand , It is difficult to play a role."
As a major brand of the Communist Youth League’s work, the "Communist Youth League face-to-face with representatives of the National People's Congress and CPPCC members" is aimed at guiding the orderly political participation of young people and effectively promoting the resolution of some youth's universal rights and interests.
"Through direct communication, it is not only a process of strengthening understanding and orderly participation, but also a process of processing suggestions and sculpting and perfecting. Let more young people’s opinions and suggestions get on the "green through train", the purpose is to implement people-centered development. The idea is to truly lead and serve the youth groups,” said Zhou Jianjun, director of the Shanghai Youth Service and Rights Protection Office.
