The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security of the Communist Party of China issued a notice a few days ago that the number of university graduates in 2021 will reach 9.09 million. Due to the uncertainty of “domestic and foreign epidemic and environmental changes”, the task of promoting employment is more difficult.
The notice also stated that entrepreneurial employment remains the main channel for graduates to find employment, and that small, medium and micro enterprises must also create more employment opportunities. In addition to traditional labor fields, all localities must guide and support entrepreneurship and innovation, and actively support graduates to engage in entrepreneurship and innovation, and engage in self-employment, employment part-time and platform employment.
Zhou Xiaozheng, a retired professor and sociologist at Renmin University of China, told Radio Free Asia that the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security encourages university students to start businesses is actually a “political spectacle.”
He said that if college students can find employment, that is their business, isn’t this just that lower officials are cheating higher officials? Since you asked me to solve the employment problem, I will give you some tips, such as incentivizing the self-employed and spreading the economy. In Chinese jargon, this type of policy is called “regardless of the head.”
Chinese financial scholar He Jiangbing analyzed that the government encourages the gig economy largely because other employment channels have failed to meet the growing demand for employment.
He Jiangbing said that the private economy in particular is not developing well and that state enterprises cannot solve the employment problem and can only help those who are related to find employment. It is even more difficult to be a civil servant, because the current civil servant exams are only one in a hundred, so the authorities can only let you solve the problem yourself.
The notice issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security also states that all localities must fully include unemployed graduates who have left school in the real name service, and require that all localities establish a database with information of real names for unemployed. graduates and contact the graduates one by one.
He Jiangbing believes that the so-called real-name system for unemployed graduates obviously serves to maintain stability.
In recent years, due to the CCP virus epidemic and other factors, it has become more difficult for Chinese university graduates to find employment. Chen Zhiwen, editor-in-chief of China Education Online, wrote a year ago that the most difficult time has come for college students to find employment. Earlier, Taiwanese media reported that data from some employment service centers for college students in mainland China last year showed that only 25% of recent graduates found work.
On March 11 this year, Li Keqiang made a speech at the closing press conference of the People’s Congress of the Communist Party of China. He once again mentioned the bleak employment situation this year. He said the new urban workforce was about 14 million. , including 9.09 million college graduates, a record. It is also necessary to guarantee the employment of veterans and provide job opportunities for 278 million migrant workers.
Li Keqiang said that “flexible employment” is currently emerging in China, involving more than 200 million people. Li also said that some people have some solo jobs, which is very difficult, and suggested that they should be given social security benefits.
The word “flexible employment” immediately sparked a heated discussion. Some netizens said: “It is good to say a flexible job, it is a part-time job, there is no welfare and there is a meal without food.”
As defined by the MBA Think Tank Encyclopedia, flexible employment refers to people who are employed in flexible ways such as part-time, temporary, and flexible work, including unemployed people who terminate or terminate employment relationships with the employer who have deposited boxes of records in Archival Depository Institutions of all levels. Personnel, resignations, self-employed, retirees approved by the labor department and personnel during file storage, unemployed who have registered for employment and unemployment, self-employed persons, owners of employed economic organizations and their employees.
A large V published that “flexible employment generally refers to people who are unemployed in cities and towns who earn a living on their own or are engaged in community services, cleaning services, logistics services and other ‘temporary workers’ under the organization of streets and communities “.
The outside world believes that Li Keqiang has revealed a disguised truth this time: China’s “unemployed population” reaches 200 million.
