Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security: Efforts will be made from five aspects to stabilize employment, benefit people's livelihood, and promote development

　　China News Service, March 9 (Xinhua) Wang Xiaoping, Minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said on the 9th that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will work with relevant parties to give greater priority to employment and make every effort to stabilize employment, benefit people's livelihood, and promote development.

The focus is to make efforts from five aspects:

　　The first aspect is to make every effort to stabilize employment.

Stabilizing jobs is the basis for stabilizing employment.

In the past year, we implemented a series of policies to stabilize employment, and funds of various types and levels supported employment and entrepreneurship with more than 300 billion yuan.

This year, we will continue the policy of reducing unemployment and work-related injury insurance premiums, implement and improve policies such as job stabilization rebates, special loans, employment and social security subsidies, and better release policy dividends.

　　The second aspect is to make every effort to expand employment channels.

We will strengthen support for various business entities such as the private economy and small, medium and micro enterprises with large employment capacity, and vigorously cultivate new employment growth points such as the digital economy, silver economy, and green economy.

Further increase support such as guaranteed loans, tax exemptions, and site arrangements to unleash the potential of entrepreneurship to drive employment.

At the same time, we will improve flexible employment service guarantee measures, give full play to the role of more than 6,900 gig markets in connecting supply and demand, and support workers in flexible employment through multiple channels.

　　The third aspect is to make every effort to improve employment skills.

This is a key move to solve the structural employment contradiction.

In recent years, the government has conducted subsidized vocational skills training for more than 18 million people every year, effectively increasing the supply of skilled workers.

We will further promote the Skills China Initiative, focus on the needs of key areas such as advanced manufacturing, modern services, and elderly care, and carry out large-scale vocational skills training.

　　The fourth aspect is to fully optimize employment services.

Employment services are an important measure to promote the connection between supply and demand.

Since the beginning of this year, "Operation Spring Breeze" has held a total of 32,000 job fairs, a year-on-year increase of 20%; it has issued 26,000 special cars, trains, and chartered flights, transporting 880,000 workers point-to-point.

We will strike while the iron is hot and continue to organize more recruitment activities for different groups and at different times to keep the market hot.

Promote the service model of "big data + iron base" and build a "doorstep" employment service station to provide enterprises and workers with efficient, convenient and accurate employment services.

　　The fifth aspect is to fully protect key groups.

This year there will be 11.79 million college graduates. We will strengthen policies and measures to promote youth employment, expand market-oriented channels, stabilize the scale of public jobs, and optimize full-cycle employment and entrepreneurship guidance services.

We will do a solid job in the employment of key groups such as veterans and migrant workers, strengthen employment assistance for people with disabilities and other disadvantaged people, and ensure that the bottom line of people's livelihood is guaranteed, accurate and secure.

　　At the same time, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will also work with relevant departments to strengthen the standardized development of the human resources market, actively build harmonious labor relations, ensure the payment of wages to migrant workers, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers, and create a fair and good employment environment.
