The spokesperson of the conference, Guo Weimin, introduced the relevant situation of the conference to Chinese and foreign media and answered questions from reporters.
China Youth Daily reporter: We have noticed that the pressure on employment this year is very high, especially the number of college graduates exceeded 10 million for the first time.
How do you view the employment situation this year?
What work does the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference carry out in stabilizing and promoting employment?
Guo Weimin, member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, deputy secretary-general of the Fifth Session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and spokesperson: The China Youth Daily reporter asked a question about employment.
Indeed, this is an important issue that everyone is concerned about, because the employment issue concerns thousands of households.
You talked about the employment of college students. According to statistics, nearly 10.76 million college students graduated this year, which is also higher than in previous years. It is indeed facing great pressure.
Guo Weimin: CPPCC members are also very concerned about this issue.
Last year, there were more than 110 proposals by CPPCC members to solve the employment problem, including strengthening the precise employment service for college graduates, paying attention to the impact of new infrastructure on employment, and placing stable employment in a prominent position. A way to negotiate and discuss politics, study and discuss.
Guo Weimin: Members believe that last year, the number of new urban jobs in my country and the national surveyed unemployment rate in urban areas were better than expected, and the employment situation was generally stable.
However, as the reporter said in the question just now, the employment pressure is indeed greater this year.
At present, the economic situation at home and abroad is still complex, uncertain and unstable factors are increasing, and my country is faced with problems such as large total employment and prominent structural contradictions.
The members believe that stable employment this year also faces some favorable conditions, including the sustained economic recovery and the vigorous development of new industries and new formats that continue to create new jobs.
The Party and the government attach great importance to the employment issue and have introduced a series of policy measures, which are believed to play an important role.
Guo Weimin: Focusing on how to stabilize and promote employment, the CPPCC members proposed that special attention should be paid to key groups such as college graduates, migrant workers and people in difficulties. It is suggested to strengthen targeted assistance and take some targeted measures.
For college graduates, employment channels should be expanded, and expectations should be reasonably guided to help them achieve market-oriented and socialized employment; for migrant workers, especially those who have been lifted out of poverty, a number of labor service brands should be created, vocational training and rights protection should be strengthened, and their employment stability should be improved. to help migrant workers, especially those who have been lifted out of poverty, to solve their employment problems. The Agricultural and Rural Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference has also carried out a lot of work in this regard.
For the needy groups, employment assistance should be provided to ensure their basic livelihood.
Guo Weimin: This year, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will take employment as a key point of consultation and deliberation. It will organize a special meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss the implementation of the employment-first policy, seek good policies and gather consensus.
Solving employment requires the joint efforts of all parties, including the joint efforts of the government, society, enterprises, including young people who are ready for employment.
We also hope that the China Youth Daily and other media will actively carry out their work and carry out publicity reports.
We believe that as long as all parties work together, the goal of stabilizing employment will surely be achieved.
