Source title: High qualifications should also be high income China to increase treatment of more than 200 million skilled workers
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 18. Zhang Lixin, director of the Department of Vocational Skills Development at the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, said on the 18th that there are currently more than 200 million skilled workers in China and more than 50 million highly skilled personnel. In the next step, policies will be introduced to strengthen incentives in accordance with central government requirements to improve benefits for skilled workers; at the same time, companies will be encouraged to improve their mechanisms and promote income distribution to frontline workers.
Zhang Lixin presented this situation at a press conference held that day by the Information Office of the State Council. He said: “Skilled workers are already a huge group, but from the perspective of employment and economic development needs, the total number of skilled personnel in China is still insufficient, especially the problem of poor structure and low quality. skilled workers represent the total employment population. ” Only 26%, highly qualified personnel account for only 28% of the total number of qualified personnel, which is a huge gap compared to developed countries. “
Investigating the reasons, Zhang Lixin believes that, firstly, the training cycle of qualified talents is long, the cost of training is high, staff mobility is large, and the motivation for business training is insufficient. Second, compared with management talents and professional technical talents, skilled talents are not well paid and have a weak sense of acquisition. The third is that the social concept of emphasizing academic qualifications and neglecting skills has not fundamentally changed.
“Skilled workers are the main body of industrial workers and they are very important to improve the industrial structure and improve the quality of employment. We must take multiple measures to encourage more workers, especially young people, to take the path of being talented and serve the country with skills, and at the same time increase their income in all directions. And status, so that they can achieve a better life through skills and realize the value of life, “he said.
Zhang Lixin revealed that in the future, while giving full play to the leadership and advocacy role of government, he will fully play the decisive role of corporate entities and the market, and encourage enterprises to use skills as an important factor in terms of basic salary rating, allowances and performance rewards. .
According to him, a group of companies has set an example in the establishment of incentive systems for skills. For example, some winners of the Chinese skills award become corporate shareholders and use their skills to buy shares; and some highly qualified talents are paid equivalent to the level of corporate vice presidents.
“It is also necessary to reward qualified talents for their contributions, especially government departments, social organizations, the Communist Youth League, trade unions, women’s federations, etc., to increase honor and recognition to encourage everyone to become talents through skills, “said Zhang Lixin.
