  In this year's government work report, the term "employment" has once again become the focus, appearing more than 30 times in the report.

Among them, it is proposed that this year, “open up more opportunities for employment and create more fair employment opportunities for those who are willing and capable”.

  Outgoing policies, expanding channels, stabilizing enterprises, focusing on education, focusing on training... From 2020 to 2021, in the face of multiple severe impacts such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the deep recession of the world economy, China has won a difficult job "transcript" : In 2020, 11.86 million new jobs will be created in China's cities and towns, and the surveyed unemployment rate in cities and towns nationwide will drop to 5.2% at the end of the year.

  Behind this, arduous efforts have been made.

China "does everything possible to stabilize and expand employment" and "resolutely assign tax and fee reduction policies to enterprises, so as to keep the green hills and win the future."

  In an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency, Zeng Xiangquan, director of the China Employment Research Institute of Renmin University of China, said that employment is the foundation of people's livelihood.

As China has entered a stage of high-quality development, the next important goal is to improve the quality of employment.

Quality is income, and income also affects consumption, which will promote industrial upgrading and realize a virtuous circle, which is of positive significance to social stability and development.

  In 2021, in the face of the new task list for more than 11 million new jobs in urban areas, how should China broaden the way to stabilize the number of jobs and the quality of jobs on the other?

  To stabilize employment, it is necessary to strengthen the "employment priority" policy.

The concerted support of fiscal, currency, and investment policies is an important support for China's employment stabilization policy.

This year's government work report proposes to establish a normalized direct fiscal fund and expand the scope, including 2.8 trillion yuan of central fiscal funds into the direct mechanism, and the scale is significantly larger than last year.

Sun Guojun, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Research Office of the State Council, said that this means that financial resources reach the grassroots faster, which is a further increase in the grassroots efforts to ensure employment, protect people's livelihood, and protect market entities.

  Liu Kun, the Minister of Finance of China, stated in the first "Ministerial Channel" of the National Two Sessions that tax reduction and fee reduction are important measures to stabilize enterprises, ensure employment, and promote support for market players to rescue and develop.

There will be no "sudden brakes" for the phased tax and fee reduction policies introduced in 2020.

  To stabilize employment, we must stabilize market players.

"The new market entities resumed rapid growth and created a large number of jobs." Zeng Xiangquan believes that in the context of China's economic recovery, the accommodation, tourism, and catering industries will usher in a recovery period; manufacturing and service industries will even appear. The difficulty of recruitment shows that there are more jobs.

He judged that the goal of 11 million new jobs in cities and towns this year is expected to be achieved.

  To stabilize employment, it is necessary to expand employment channels.

The government work report stated that this year we will support the construction of various labor markets, talent markets, and odd labor markets; promote stable employment for people who have been lifted out of poverty; and broaden employment channels for farmers.

  Nowadays, various new professional groups such as online dispatchers, online anchors, all-media operators, online literature writers, e-sportsmen, emerging Internet technology practitioners, and new professional farmers have emerged.

Li Yingxin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and vice president of the People’s Court of Tongzhou District of Beijing, believes that it is necessary to support the corresponding laws and regulations, improve the social security mechanism for flexible employees, improve the supervision system, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of new occupations, so as to guide the establishment of a benign Circular market competition and social service relations.

  To stabilize employment, vocational training must be increased.

Especially for remote areas with relatively backward economic development, the lack of professional talent training or the "fatal point" of employment difficulties.

  Liu Yonghao, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the New Hope Group, suggested that the "agricultural talents go to the countryside" plan should be implemented, and the state would allocate a portion of funds to support fresh graduates to work in rural areas.

In order to retain talents, the cultivation of "new farmers" should be accelerated.

  Lin Tengjiao, representative of the National People's Congress and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sunshine Longjing Group, suggested that vigorous development of application-oriented universities is of great significance to deepening the integration of industry and education, expanding employment and entrepreneurship, cultivating talents in various industries, and cultivating new drivers of economic development under the new situation.

  Zeng Xiangquan said that strengthening human capital investment is a long-term employment development strategy in the future, and it is also the "only way" for the development of grassroots or poverty-stricken areas.

  The more "outlets" to promote employment, the greater the creativity.

We should not rush to achieve success in the implementation of employment issues. Seeking progress while maintaining stability is the foundation of one's life.

Perhaps this process is relatively long, but always stick to "one step at a time", and you will surely see results.
